Why this helps

- Improves report searchability
- Keeps campaign and reporting period visible in file lists
- Reduces confusion between similar reports

- 2Create a new automation and describe how to identify the report and format its new name.
- 3Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 4Test against one real report and verify the updated name in Drive.
- 5Adjust the naming instruction if the report or period is ambiguous.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the report contents?
No. The selected Drive action updates file metadata, such as the name. It does not rewrite the report content.
What if several files match?
Make the identifying details specific in your instruction and test with one real example to confirm the intended file is selected.
