Teachers are filling out a Google Form, which then goes to a Google Sheet, where the file is merged and emailed to the user.  I have everything working, except automatically placing it in a teacher's Google Folder using the Teacher Folder Code option in Autocrat.  Can you please help me to figure out how to fix this issue?  Teacher Folder Codes are listed in the Google Sheet.

!!!ERR: Failed to add merged file to folder due to Google error: API call to drive.files.patch failed with error: File not found: (Folder Code)

FYI, the IT dept has already whitelisted the extension, so that is not the issue.

Autocrat will not work with Shared Drives.  You can add files to the teacher's drive if they have given permission.

You can't keep a copy on your folder and select a folder via the address of the folder.  Remove the drive from the first step.

Make sure the proper link is in the column you select that directs the output to the teacher's folder.

Thanks for your help.  I found out that I accidentally added a folder when setting up Autocrat.  Now that I fixed that and one other error, everything is working perfectly.
