HubSpot administrators can use the WoodsPortal CreateFolder workflow action to create a folder in HubSpot File Manager and associate that folder with the record enrolled in the workflow.
Before you begin
- Confirm that the WoodsPortal app and required file-manager extension are installed and authorized in the HubSpot account.
- Use a HubSpot workflow for a supported record type and a safe test record.
- Identify the WoodsPortal portal ID that should own the new folder association.
- Plan a folder name and path that will remain understandable as records change.
Configure the workflow action
- Open the intended HubSpot workflow and define its enrollment criteria.
- Add the WoodsPortal Create Folder action, then set Target record to Enrolled contact or the record appropriate for the workflow.
- Enter the Portal ID shown for the intended WoodsPortal implementation.
- Enter the Folder Name. Use HubSpot personalization tokens when the name should include record data.
- Enter the Folder Path. Use / for the root or specify the parent path where the folder should be created.
- Use personalization tokens in the path only when the resulting values form valid, predictable folder names.
- Review the workflow, then test it with the safe record before enabling broader enrollment.
How nested paths work
- A path can place the folder below an existing parent folder.
- When the supported action receives a nested path, missing folders in that path can be created as part of the operation.
- The final folder is associated with the record that triggered the workflow.
- Use stable identifiers or carefully controlled names when different records could otherwise generate the same path.
Troubleshooting
- If the action is missing, confirm the installed app version and the workflow actions available in the connected HubSpot account.
- If the folder is created in the wrong location, check the Portal ID, root slash, parent path, and resolved token values in workflow history.
- If the folder is not associated with the record, confirm that the enrolled object type is supported and review the action result.
- If the action fails, check HubSpot File Manager access, WoodsPortal authorization, invalid path characters, and empty personalization values.
