Create monthly archive folder and move matching files

Automatically monitor monthly date output across Schedule by Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, and Google Drive. Create and update when month starts, monthly date tokens refresh, or the scheduled run fires—so you can create archive folders, move matching spreadsheets, and keep audit-ready records without manual folder setup.

How this automation organizes your monthly files

When the monthly schedule fires, manual archiving can slow reporting and increase audit risk. This automation generates a YYMM folder, creates the folder in Google Drive, and moves matching spreadsheet files—so you can keep monthly records organized automatically.

  1. 1.Runs every month schedule

    Integrate Schedule by Zapier, scheduling tools, and date fields to detect monthly run timing.
