Creating Folders in Outlook

Hi @Yannie @Tiffany_SU - please be aware that the “Folder Exists” and “Create Folder” activities are only used with the file system and are not working in the Outlook context. At the moment there is only an activity directly availalbe for Office365 - https://docs.uipath.com/integrations/docs/office365-create-folder or a component on GO! → Create Outlook Folder - RPA Component | UiPath Marketplace @studioX → Is this functionality planned or already in StudioX and I’m missing it?

include this on ur imported namespace

set an interlop folder variable

then just use the .Add or .addfolder function
sample:

oFolders(“ur root folder”).Folders.Add(“ur subfolder”,Type.Missing)

[argin.lerit]

Check this attached workflow. Notice the declared variable appOutlook and the default value. Don’t forget to add the required Imports as mentioned by @jeromeian.villaroman .

Hi @Lizette try this simple solution that I created using UI activities, though it still needs improvement.
