Create subfolders? Wed Feb 15, 2023 4:09 am • by bryla
Hi there - new to Hazel and new to this forum!

I am trying to set up a rule that goes like this:
- in watched folder whenever a folder that starts with current year is created: create subfolder "To assistant" and "To me"

I have it setup like this and will need to change the year to 24 next year but having it look for these conditions is fine. Image

Kind is Folder
Date Created is in the last 3 minutes
Name starts with 23

Now I don't want to sort that folder but I would like to create folders within. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

There is no action to create empty folders at the moment. You either have to file something into it (they can be created on the fly) or use a script to create it for you.

Thanks Mr_Noodle! I'm new to automation so I'll see how far I'll get with scripting :)
