G-Suite Script: Send Google Doc to Multiple Student Portfolio Folders

//This script will allow you to make a whole lot of 
//copies of a Google Drive document, rename them according to students' names
//and send those copies to individual students' portfolio folders.

//Be careful of what you change. All of the punctuation below is meaningful for the script to work.


//Step 1: open the target folders for each student in Google Drive.
//You will need editing/creator permissions for each folder you're sending these files to.
//Look at the folder URL. There is a string of letters and numbers at the end of it and that is the folder ID.
//Notice that there are single quotations around the document ID. These quotes are important!

function copyTemplates() {
const myTargets = [
{
name: 'Student Name',
folderId: 'add student folder id here but keep these quotes intact'
}, 
{
name: 'Another Student Name',
folderId: 'Do the same thing with a different folder id here'
}
];

for(var index in myTargets) {
//Step 2: Open the Google Drive document that you want to copy. 
//Look at the URL. There is a string of letters and numbers at the end of it and that is the document ID.
//Copy the document ID and REPLACE it in the line of code below. 
//Notice that there are single quotations around the document ID. These quotes are important!

var originFile = DriveApp.getFileById('Add Folder ID here. Example: 11SsAJ8wTZxcf2JBwsH8fkDeG6DYJGWwEwke__-t2tjU');

var thisTarget = myTargets[index];
var thisFolderId = thisTarget['folderId'];
var thisFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById(thisFolderId);
var thisName = thisTarget['name'];

originFile.makeCopy(thisName + ' - ' + originFile.getName(), thisFolder);
}
}

//Step 3: When you have added the relevant names, folder ids, and original document id info to the script, 
//you will click on the save icon and then go to the Run menu and choose copyTemplates. 
//Authorize the script and copies will be made to your drive.

//With gratitude to Alice Keeler and her "CopyDocs" script for the inspiration.
