Vault Add Folder

The Vault Add Folder node creates a new folder in Autodesk Vault at the specified path if it does not already exist.

Purpose

Use this node to automate the creation of folder structures in Vault as part of workflows that prepare project directories, document control folders, or structured filing systems.

Inputs

Field Label	Input Type	Description
Folder Path	Text	The full Vault folder path to create. If the folder already exists, it will be retrieved instead.

Outputs

Output Variable	Description
NewVaultFolder	The folder object created or retrieved from Vault.

Functionality

This node:

1. Validates required input (Folder Path).
2. Retrieves service account tokens for Autodesk Vault and general Autodesk authentication.
3. Establishes a Vault connection using these service accounts.
4. Creates the folder in Vault at the specified path if it does not exist, or retrieves the existing folder if it does.
5. Stores the created or retrieved folder object in NewVaultFolder.

Example Use Case

✅ Automatically create project subfolders in Vault when onboarding a new project.
✅ Create folders to organise files uploaded in subsequent workflow nodes.

Task Success Criteria

• Success: The folder is created (if it did not exist) or retrieved successfully, and stored in NewVaultFolder.
• Failure: If Vault connection, service account retrieval, or folder creation fails, the task returns a descriptive error message indicating the failure point.

Notes

• Ensure ServiceAccount-Autodesk Vault and ThirdParty-Autodesk service accounts are configured with valid credentials and have folder creation permissions.
• The output object (NewVaultFolder) is an Autodesk Vault folder entity that can be used in subsequent Vault-related tasks.
