Create Folder

The Create Folder activity creates a new folder in a specified SharePoint document library.

Prerequisites

A valid project must exist in the Publish Console before you can access and publish workflows.

Activity Details in Canvas

SharePoint*: Select the account from the available connections. The selected account is used to authenticate with and access SharePoint.

Note: Before using the SharePoint activity, make sure the following prerequisites are met:

a. The project has been added under the Publish option.
b. The SharePoint Connector is connected on the Manager side.

Once both conditions are met, the SharePoint activity loads and connects, allowing you to perform the supported SharePoint operations.

Parent Folder: Select the SharePoint document library or parent folder where the new folder will be created.

Folder Name: Enter the name of the new folder. You can enter the folder name directly as text or provide a String variable containing the folder name.

If Folder Already Exists: Specify how the activity should handle an existing folder with the same name:
Don’t Replace: Keeps the existing folder and does not create a new folder.
Auto Rename: Creates the new folder with an automatically generated name to avoid a naming conflict

Important: Values configured in the Canvas are automatically populated in the corresponding properties in the Properties panel and can be modified there if required.
