Hello. I am totally confused about how to add a destination folder and a dynamic folder reference. When I choose the destination folder from my drive, the documents merged documents don't go into that folder. When I tried adding the Folder ID into my spreadsheet, and then tried adding that column into my Autocrat folder, I get a pull down menu of the tags that I set up for the job. I don't know how to make it so that my documents automatically go into the folder I chose for them to go into. Thanks.

A couple of items.  I don't use dynamic folders but have an idea how they work.

Autocrat will not put files in both the dynamic and regular folders..  If you want the dynamic folder, leave the folder blank the first time you are asked for folders

If you want dynamic folders, you need to be using the folder ID which is part of the URL.

You select the merge tag (column) that contains the ID and the files will be sent to the correct folder.

Autocrat does not work with Team drives.

The 4th column added to the sheet by Autocrat contains the status and any error codes.  What is in the status column?

Hi, Joe. Thank you for this information. So what you're saying is that Autocrat does not with shared drives? Also, where do I put the folder ID then? In the spreadsheet column folder that I want to use the name for?

Also, I have no idea what you mean by the status column.
