@shilpashree.mohanty

yes first use this will identify missing folder

missingFolders = folderPaths.Where(Function(folder) Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(folder)).ToList()

then for folder creation use below linq inside invoke code

missingFolders.ForEach(Sub(folder) System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(folder))

And could you please suggest linq query to create folders

@shilpashree.mohanty

missingFolders has dataype List of string.

and you can use for each inside

Inside For Each use a Create Directory Activity:

  • Set Path to item (current folder path in the loop).
