Can you create folders in sharepoint?

[Collin]

Hi, I am trying to create automations for my work. I want to know if the sharepoint tool will allow me to create folders (like google drive) before I ask for sharepoint permissions. I see that the tool has a create item option, but is that the same as a folder?

Hi kuldlp! I have a certain file structure that I want to create in sharepoint.

Example:
01 Main
02 Files
03 Archive

I had the same question and I found out that the existing nodes for SharePoint only work with files, not folders.

To do this, you need to go for a “HTTP Resquest” node.

So you need to do something that looks like :

Parameters	Value
HTTP Method	POST
URL	https://YOURINSTANCE.sharepoint.com/sites/YOURSITENAME/_api/web/folders
Authentication	Microsoft OAuth2 API
Headers	Add headers. See below.
Body Content	JSON
Body	{"__metadata":{"type":"SP.Folder"},"ServerRelativeUrl":"/sites/YOURSITENAME/Document Library/NewFolderName"}

Headers

• Key: Accept
  Value: application/json;odata=verbose

• Key: Content-Type
  Value: application/json;odata=verbose
