The CloudFiles: Move Resource action enables you to move a resource (file or folder) from one location to another within the same external storage drive. This action is particularly useful in automations where resources need to be reorganized based on workflow changes.

The image below gives an overview of the input parameters and what this action looks like. Detailed description of these input parameters and outputs are provided in the following sections.

The Move Resource action transfers a specified file or folder from its current location to a new destination within the same drive. This operation is performed in the external storage connected to Salesforce.

Use Case Example: When a Lead is converted to an Account, the associated lead folder can be moved into the newly created account folder. This ensures that all documentation related to the lead is automatically transferred and organized under the corresponding account record.

To specify the resource file or folder you want to share or remove, it is necessary to provide the following parameters that define the target resource and its sharing destination. Below is a detailed explanation of each input:

The parent folder ID of the target location where the file or folder will be moved. This identifies the destination folder within the external storage.

The ID of the drive containing the resource. The action supports moving resources only within the same drive; cross-drive moves are not allowed.

Specifies the external storage library, such as sharepoint, google , dropbox, box, onedrive, azure or cloudfiles (AWS S3).

Input the Resource Id i.e. unique identifier of the file or folder to moved. This ID is used to locate and process the resource within the specified library and drive.

Specfies whether the target is a file or folder.

The CloudFiles: Move Resource action does not return any output parameters. Upon successful execution, the specified file or folder will be moved to the target location in the external storage.
