How to set New File in specific Google Drive folder AND all of its subfolders?
Status: Open · Asked by Anders Nielsen on · 0 views
Hi,
I currently have New File In Google Drive for a trigger along with a filter that filters out all files that are not inside a specific folder. However this causes issues where I get thousands of triggers in my task history making a mess because it is not for the specific relevant folder. But I want to only trigger for files in a specific Google Drive folder AND all of its subfolders. How can I do this possible? As far as I can see the "New File in Specific Folder" doesn't trigger for files in subfolders of that folder?
I see this response but as far as I see this will still cause this mess of triggers showing up in my task history:

All the best

Hi @apps,
The Google Drive: New File in a Specific Folder trigger step does not trigger when a new file is added to a subfolder of the specified folder; hence, the entire workaround shared in the thread you mentioned.
Currently, we do not have any Google Drive trigger event that triggers a workflow when a file is added to a subfolder of a specific folder. If you would like this trigger event to be added to Pabbly Connect, you can submit your request on our dedicated platform:

Our integrations team will review your request and, if possible, add the desired trigger event for Google Drive.
Thanks & Regards,
