Keeping your files organised in Google Drive while managing work in monday can get messy very fast — especially when every new item or status change needs its own folder.
To solve this, our Google Drive Integration app includes a ready-to-use automation template:
When a column changes → create a sub-folder inside a parent folder and automatically save the folder link back to the item.
This removes all the manual folder creation work and keeps everything perfectly structured.
✅ What This Automation Does
When the selected column changes:
-
A new sub-folder is created in Google Drive
-
It is created inside your Parent Folder link
-
The folder is named using your Sub-Folder Name column
-
The new folder link is pasted back into a Sub-Folder Link column on the item
All of this happens automatically in real-time.
💡 Common Use Cases
This automation is perfect for:
-
📁 Client folders inside a main “Clients” directory
-
🏗️ Project folders inside a master “Projects” folder
-
🎥 Video folders per content item
-
📄 Document folders per deal or task
-
🧾 Finance folders per invoice or order
Any time each item needs its own Drive folder — this setup saves hours.
