But now to the question:
I am trying to fetch the folder-structure of a OneDrive Folder, with many many subfolders for further parsing by an AI-Agent. The Main OneDrive-Node doesn’t seem to do that, It only fetches the children of the first Folder, so I am trying to create some kind of loop that feeds all the subfolders into the Get-Children-Node one after another to then have a list of all the Folders, their paths and their OneDrive-IDs.
Now I don’t get the right Idea on how to replace the main Folder ID with new ones for the subfolders one per one and to
I’m not getting any Error, but not the wanted result.
The Picture is the first version that I tried, now I tried a different approach which I attached as a worklflow:
Little Update:
I got a little further by simply doing what you’ll see down below. But now it just passes through the loop for two times and then stops… But Maybe someone knows if I am on the right track?
So… I fiddled around but am not getting to the end…
I took your example and adjusted it to onedrive and I’m getting how it should work. The problem is now, that I can’t get the sub-workflow to take the fields from the main-workflow.
Maybe there was an update since your version, but I can’t specify the output-fields from the, only the input-field from the sub.
Message in Main-Execute Workflow:
This sub-workflow will consume all input data passed to it. You can define specific expected input in the [sub-workflow’s trigger]
Should not be a problem, but when I specify id & path, it doesn’t pull the data from main, only null.
Also tried “accept all data” in the sub-start-node, but then I only get:
[
{
}
]
I haven’t gotten to the point after “get- subchildren” so please ignore that.
You have any idea on why I won’t get the data from main to sub?
I just ran an update et voilà, i can set the workflow-inputs. But its still not working so i slimmed everything down just to understand how to pass data to the next node but I still don’t get it
I detached the workflow from the Sub-Start just to see whats “arriving” but it’s still null… Slowely I feel like a null myself
What the flowers am I missing? So sorry to bother you…
I think you have everything you need in the Screenshots.
The ID which is used to get children in a OneDrive-Node is the first one, in that case “94F1CF51181F044F!6714”
It’s also correclty taken over to the execute Sub-Node as you can see in the screenshot, where you can also see, that it is correclty fetching the different IDs for the different Folders. Then it’s only spitting out the Input, cause I detached the Sub-WF-Start from the performing part, because it’s failling due to a missing ID for the “Get Children”-Part in that.
The Main WF is also correclty updating the Workflow Inputs as I change them in the Sub-WF and refresh them in the Main-WF. So the connection between the two seems to be working.
How did you get the output of the sub-workflow? Did you press the View sub-execution link or manually clicked on the “Test Step” button of the trigger?
Hello Again,
Got back to it today, and made “some” progress, but the recursive self execution is not working.
The “Fetch Chirldren PRESET” node is just for testing, and is only executed once when connected.
After going through to the execute self node the fetch children Node is beeing executed but fails due to “Execute” giving out null as an ID. but in “Execute Self” I think that I have correctly set to pass the ID, besides the path and a boolean processed flag
I got that it gives out null while “testing workflow”, but how can I test if it works if it only gives out null?
When I run the main Flow, with the preset disconnected and saved, I only get 10 folders, but it should be 31.
Are you sure it’s 10? because 10 is the default amount to output and if you copy the output, you will copy only 10 items from it (unless you set the different page size)
