KEY-VALUE

The details of the new folder that will be created.

<folder_name>

TEXT

The name of the folder that will be created.

<parent_id>

TEXT

The ID of the parent folder within which the new folder will be created.

Note: You can get the folder ID from the Zoho WorkDrive URL. The URL will be in the following format:
https://workdrive.zoho.com/home/teams/<team_id>/privatespace/folders/<parent_folder_id>

<connection>

TEXT

The link name of the connection.

Note:

  • In view of stopping new authtoken generation, a Zoho OAuth connection with appropriate scopes is mandatory in order for new integration tasks (created after the deadline specified in the post) to work as expected. Existing integration tasks will continue to work with or without the connections parameter until you manually delete the authtoken from accounts.
  • Scope required for this integration task: WorkDrive.files.CREATE.
  • Refer to this post for the list of Zoho services that support the connections page.
  • Learn more about connections
