Move files into a folder at a specific subfolder depth

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to move files from the watched folder into a subfolder at a specified depth within it?

Example:

Watched-folder
-->subFolder1
---->subFolder2
------->subFolder3

Action: manually drop files into the Watched-folder and a Hazel rule moves them into subFolder3 (the folder at subfolder depth = 3)

Is it possible to do this using Hazel alone, watching only the top folder? This is a simplified version of the full process I'm attempting but currently stuck on this action. I have hundreds of folders all with the same folder structure and matched foldername patterns within the watched folder.

Thanks everyone - hope the question is clear.

You can specify multiple levels with the Sort into subfolder rule. Use the folder separator token (the one that looks like a triangle pointing to the right).
