Box Folder Creator

Create one named folder in Box and return its metadata.

Setup

Select your Box account in Create Box folder. Edit the folder name and parent folder ID. The defaults preserve the source example: n8n-rocks in root folder 0. The connected account must be allowed to create a folder in that destination. In n8n, configure the same name, parent and account in Box. Run manually after setup.

Each run makes one creation request. Open Flow returns the folder metadata with the Action’s additional normalized fields; n8n returns Box’s folder record. No files are uploaded and no local folders are created.

Box can reject a name that already exists in the parent, typically with HTTP 409. The workflow does not reuse, rename, update or search for an existing folder. Errors stop the run without a retry or rollback. Check Box before rerunning an uncertain request.

Changes to the source

• Make Box’s root parent ID 0 explicit.
• Expose the created folder metadata in Open Flow.

Adapted from Box folder workflow in Zie619/n8n-workflows. The source export does not identify a separate template author or license.

The collection’s MIT notice is pinned at a later revision. This is the collection notice at that revision; it does not establish a separate original template author’s license. Our changes are listed above; see repository licensing.
