Is there a way to automatically create a folder structure when creating new team?
Hi,
I have a folder structure that I replicate into the "File" (SPO document library) everytime I create a new specific Team.
Is there a way to automate this process, so that when I create a team, a copy of this folder structure (which are just 3 subfolders) gets created?
Thank you
- This can be done with Power Automate. Although you need som trigger for this when a team is created. Normally this is done when you create new teams from a provisioning workflow with the teams themselves.

- Since there is not a PowerAutomate trigger that detect when a new Team has been created or when a Channel within a Team has been created, another option you might have here is to automate the folders creation via code (Azure Functions, PowerShell Script automated in Azure)

AdamCould you provide more detailed information? As our files and folders continue to grow, finding the specific file I need has become a challenge. Is there a method to establish a structured data tree to enhance navigation and make locating the right file more efficient?
adam deltinger thanks.
your reply triggered good search content for me. I haven't thought about provisioning the team automatically. I was always thinking that the user would create the team.
This article seems to do a lot of what I need.

- Does it work with Private Channel ?
