Before using this action, ensure the File Manager UI extension is enabled on the object’s record view. --- **Before you begin** - **CMS permissions**: Access to **Website Pages** and **Design Manager** is not required; this is configured purely in HubSpot workflows. - **Admin permissions**: You must be a **Super Admin** or **Portal Admin** in WoodsPortal. - **File Manager UI Extension**: Verify it’s enabled on the object record (HubSpot Settings \> Objects \> \[Object\] \> Record Customization \> File Manager UI extension). --- ### Step-by-Step Instructions 1. **Create a Workflow** - In HubSpot, navigate to **Automation \> Workflows** and create a new workflow (Contact-, Company-, Deal-, Ticket-, or Custom Object–based). - Define your enrollment trigger (e.g., form submission, status change). 2. **Add the CopyResource Action** - Under **Actions**, search **WoodsPortal Actions** and select **CopyResource**. ![](https://digitalwoods.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/image-png-Jun-30-2025-06-27-46-2910-PM-2.png?width=467&height=389&name=image-png-Jun-30-2025-06-27-46-2910-PM-2.png) 3. **Configure the CopyResource Fields** - **Portal ID** - Copy your portal ID from **WoodsPortal Admin \> Client Portals** (hover over the portal name to see the tooltip). - **Source Path** - Navigate to a record in HubSpot, open the File Manager UI extension, and click **Open in File Manager**. - Copy the full breadcrumb path (e.g., `home/WoodsPortal/123/456/789`) and paste it here. ![](https://digitalwoods.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/File%20path-png-2.png?width=401&height=255&name=File%20path-png-2.png) - **Destination Path** - To copy into the root, enter a single slash: `/` - To copy into nested folders, provide the path (e.g., `/FolderA/FolderB`). - You may also use dynamic tokens (e.g., `**dealname**`) for folder names based on record properties. 4. **Activate the Workflow** - Review your setup and switch the workflow **On**. - When a record meets the trigger, the specified file or folder will be copied and associated accordingly. --- **Troubleshooting** | Issue | Resolution | | --- | --- | | CopyResource action not available | Confirm the WoodsPortal app is installed and you have **Portal Admin** permissions. | | Incorrect source path | Re-open the record’s File Manager UI extension, click **Open in File Manager**, and copy the full breadcrumb. | | Permissions error copying resource | Ensure the workflow owner has File Manager create/copy permissions in HubSpot. |   Share this article: ### Have a project in mind?
