Create a Drive folder
The "Create a Drive folder" robot creates a folder inside the given Drive folder in Bitrix24 (Alaio) business processes and robots. If a folder with the same name already exists, by default its ID is returned instead of an error — a repeated process run does not break. It returns the folder ID, a Newly created flag, and Success Y/N.
The robot builds a Drive folder structure from a process: it takes the parent folder ID and the new folder name. The key detail is the duplicate behavior: by default (use) the robot returns the ID of an already existing folder with the same name, so re-running the process on the same deal does not fail; the error mode fails when the folder already exists. Typical use cases: open a deal folder like "1024 — Acme Ltd" on a stage change; create a "Contracts / Invoices / Acts" subfolder structure for a new client; prepare a folder for a site visit photo report. It returns the folder ID (created or found), the Newly created Y/N flag, and Success Y/N — pass the ID to the next robots to upload files.
