Megan, Thank you.
1. I wish that I could automate to more than just 2 options. Week, day,

Hi there klnagel14 - sorry to jump in here and thanks for the feedback on this.
Could you walk us through the exact steps you take to do this and send us a screenshot if possible to make sure we're on the same page?
I'm just asking because I just tried creating a new automated folder without the need to specify a destination folder; I was able to create a new one upon setting up the automation.
