Create Folder — Reference
Ensure that a server folder exists, including missing parents.
Ensure that a server folder exists, including missing parents.
Before you begin
Section titled “Before you begin”- A Server Connect action and a dedicated test file/folder that the server process can access. Protect the endpoint before exposing private file operations.
Create Folder
Section titled “Create Folder”Ensure that a server folder exists, including missing parents.
Choose a server path
Section titled “Choose a server path”Use an application-relative path beginning with /. In a standard Node.js project, /public/uploads/example.txt is a server path while /uploads/example.txt is its public URL. PHP paths are relative to the application root determined by its runtime. Verify the active target with the file picker instead of copying a path between server models. Do not accept unrestricted user input as a filesystem path.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | Names the operation’s result for later server steps when it returns one. See the result notes for this operation; not all file actions return the same type. |
| Path | The application-relative server path to the target folder or entry. Use the picker for the active target and verify the resolved location. |
| Output Result | Includes a named returned result in action output when applicable. Default off. Check the operation’s actual return type; Download sends the file response instead. |
Worked example
Section titled “Worked example”Choose a dedicated test path such as /public/docs-test/incoming in a Node.js project, or the corresponding application-relative folder on your PHP target. Run Create Folder, then If Folder Exists and confirm true. Run Create Folder again to verify the already-existing-folder case.
Result and runtime limits
Section titled “Result and runtime limits”The returned result is the application-relative folder path. This does not upload any files or grant a user permission to write there. The server process needs filesystem permission.
Connect files to the application
Section titled “Connect files to the application”A returned path or URL is not an access-control decision. Keep private file reads and writes behind server-side identity and ownership checks, and update any database metadata only after the intended file operation succeeds.
Check your result
Section titled “Check your result”You can configure the path and verify the returned result or file effect without confusing it with a page URL or database update.
