I am unable to create a simple folder with workflow, how can this be done?
You can add a Folder via workflow in Document Library by creating a new list item and specifying Content type ID
to Folder
Steps
Edit your workflow ,
From Action > Add Create List Item.
- Select your doc library that you need to add your folder.
- Add
Content type ID
> select folder - At path and name Specify path & name, you can specify it dynamically as mentioned at creating-folders-and-sub-folders-using-sharepoint-2010-designer-workflow
For more details check this video Create folder using workflow to create a folder and subfolder in your doc library via workflow

@Madhav Do you have time now? I don't need it, but it'd help to close this question out.– DinerdoJun 8, 2018 at 22:30
Hint: The following solution is only viable for SharePoint Designer Workflow 2013 as there is no OOTB action for REST Calls in SharePoint Designer Workflow 2010!
folder creation part is completed into the answer posted by M.Qassas and this answer contains only copying documents to that folder from another library here I am using Rest API's and that s as per below snap

2Is this a SharePoint 2013 workflow? OP requested SharePoint 2010 workflow, so not sure this would work. Jun 7, 2018 at 11:17

Hi Madhav, Nulldata is right, this is no SPD2010 Workflow as there are no REST Calls or something similar avaiable. As you stated above by yourself you don't want to irritate the readers, so please correct this in your answer and mark it that this is to be done with SPD2013 Workflows instead of SPD2010. Thanks in advance Jan 15, 2019 at 8:15
