Automation Workshop includes the Create Folder Action that makes a folder or a whole path (all intermediary folders) if non-existent. The folder name and, optionally, full path can be provided as a static text string or using dynamic values from the Variable Wizard.
The Create Folder Action can make new folders from the folder list using the For Each Action. It can also automatically create folders that contain the current date, time, or just a sequence-prefixed name.
Features & highlights
- The Action provides other Actions with means to create dynamic folders with
\\server\syntax.share\ year\ month\ day - Equipped with the advanced fallback options, it ensures that a certain path always exists and is available to your workflow.
- Create context-specific folders using usernames, date, time, IP address, server name, or cloud bucket as a folder name.
Documentation

Smart create!
The Ensure Folder Action streamlines the classical approach to automation. Instead of using the "if a folder does not exist, create it" method, this smart Action ensures that a folder is in a specified state—exists, does not exist, or is empty.
Remote create? Easy!
To create directories on remote servers, use the Create Remote Directory or Ensure Remote Directory Action.
Even more, for managing multiple servers and workflows over LAN or the internet, utilize the remote tools and flexible deployment features available through a simple yet efficient user interface.
