I created a zap that creates a new [frame.io](http://frame.io) project when I add a card in Trello. This is working fine, but I’d also like Zapier to create a folder in the new project. But it returns “invalid argument” ![Bildschirmfoto 2024-04-11 um 19.14.58](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/frame1/original/1X/93ca0b403eec4148314c30566fd85f1fabd05669.png) I also tried to choose a project instead of a dynamic ID, but it doesn’t work. It won’t show me any folders ---

There you see, no folders: ![Bildschirmfoto 2024-04-11 um 19.16.22](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/frame1/original/1X/3b94dd8eb99edefcad4fdcf0dd66f265a0c375dc.png) ---

I have found the solution. You need to add the step “find project in [frame.io](http://frame.io)” and then add the “root asset id” in the folder field. ---

That’s one potential solution for sure, but the code for this field should automatically grab the root folder for the project that you’ve picked up above by default. ---
