File Name Prefix pdf..how does it work?

[Indaco85]

Hello,

using workflow i want to generate pdf file with the name of the customer and the date of the worflow action, like:

PAOLO - 17052020.pdf

I’ve tried to define the file name using “File Name Prefix” but is seems to play as the “File Folder Path”.

Example (in File Name Prefix"):

<<[Name] TODAY()>>

It creates in DRIVE different folders (Name–>Day–>month) and then save the file as 2020.pdf
I’ve tried also to use CONCATENATE ([Name],TODAY()) but the result is always the same?

What am I doing wrong?

You can’t use TODAY() because it contains “/” which tells to your app to create a subfolder. Instead of using TODAY(), use for example <<[Name]&" - "&TEXT(TODAY(),“ddmmyyyy”)>>

Even though I think this process has been changed to "BOTS" according to comments.

THIS is by far the Best Video Training I have ever seen on appsheet for beginners, it is a MUST WATCH and should be required before you ever create a REF.

It covers Ref and google drive naming conventions with two major errors you may encounter, in a very practical and easy to follow way.
