What this operation supports in Smartsheet
Creates a new, empty folder inside a workspace or another folder.
Implementation details
Folders in Smartsheet are purely organizational -- they hold sheets, reports, and other folders, but don't carry their own data or permissions distinct from what's configured at the workspace level.
Operational considerations
Planning a folder structure before bulk-creating sheets (rather than creating sheets first and sorting them later) keeps automation-created content organized the same way a person would set it up manually.
Use cases
Automatically generate project folders, group related sheets, and establish standardized folder hierarchies in Smartsheet automations.
