Can I trigger a fusion scenario when a document is moved from one folder to another?

Is there a way to identify document move from 1 folder to another in fusion?

    Hi ​@Isha25327091lapo,

     

    The move is not triggering an update for Workfront Watch Events. Depending on the number of documents, you could add a period search for documents using Custom API Call module of Workfornt: 

    GET /attask/api/v21.0/DOCU/search

    Quey Parameter: fields=folders,folders:name,folders:ID

     

    You could use the search results to compare the current folder ID against the expected folder ID. If they differ, you know it was moved.

     

    You can store the expected folder ID in custom form field and set during creation of the document using Fusion.

     

    Maybe not the most straight forward method, but it should work.

      I agree with Patrick. It cannot be an instant trigger, but you could create a scheduled trigger :

      Schedule (every 15 minutes, hourly, etc.)
      Module: Workfront > Search Records (Document)
      Search for documents with specific criteria
      Track folder IDs in a data store/variable - Compare current folder vs. previous state
      Filter: IF folder has changed > execute your actions
