Hi,

There's an open request to add a "Create Google Drive Folder" action:

I'm also looking for this functionality and wondering if there is a workaround available. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Hi Jake,

    In the absence of an official action, a workaround could be using the "Web API" action suite and constructing a request with the proper authorization (optionally authorizing the request with an existing Google integration), and creating the folder in that manner.

    Thanks Brandon, that's more or less what we ended up doing - we added a route to an internal API that takes the parent folder ID and a folder name as input, and returns the ID of the newly created folder as output. We then pass that ID back into the Catalytic workflow.
