The new folder, with workflowCount 0.
400VALIDATION_ERROR
The body isn’t JSON, the name is blank or over 255 characters, or parentId isn’t a folder in this workspace.
403FORBIDDEN
The token lacks the Write permission for workflows.
409NAME_TAKEN
A folder with this name is already in that place. Names are compared without case.
500INTERNAL_ERROR
The folder wasn’t made. Try again.

Any call can also answer: 401 UNAUTHORIZED · 401 TOKEN_ENDED · 403 TOKEN_SURFACE_OFF · 403 FEATURE_OFF · 403 EMBED_NOT_ALLOWED · 403 EMBED_NOT_AVAILABLE · 403 ACCOUNT_SUSPENDED · 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE · 415 INVALID_CONTENT_TYPE · 429 RATE_LIMITED · 503 BUSY · 503 PAUSED · 503 SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE.

Every field

Body

nameRequired · string: Required; trimmed. Blank after trimming, or longer than 255 characters, is a 400. A name a folder in the same place already has, ignoring case, is a 409 NAME_TAKEN.
parentIdOptional · UUID: Optional parent. Omit or send null for a root folder. Must exist in the same workspace — an unknown or cross-tenant id is a 400 "Parent folder not found."

dataobject: A node in the workflow-organization tree. Folders organize workflows only — they have no relationship to connections or templates.
idUUID
namestring: Trimmed of surrounding whitespace. At most 255 characters. Create and rename refuse a name a sibling already has, ignoring case (409 NAME_TAKEN); deleting a folder moves its children up and renames a child whose name is taken there (<name> (2)), so siblings never share a name.
parentIdUUID: Parent folder. Absent/null means a root folder. The list is flat — build the tree from this field.
workspaceIdUUID: Owning workspace. Populated on create; the all-zero UUID in list responses (not selected by the list query).
orgIdUUID: Owning organization. Same caveat as workspaceId.
workflowCountinteger: Workflows filed DIRECTLY in this folder. Does not include workflows in descendant folders.
liveCountinteger: live workflows filed directly in this folder. 0 on a create’s answer.
failingCountinteger: failing workflows filed directly in this folder (live, and the latest finished production run failed). 0 on a create’s answer.
totalWorkflowCountinteger: workflows in this folder and every folder under it, at any depth. 0 on a create’s answer.
totalLiveCountinteger: live workflows in this folder and every folder under it. 0 on a create’s answer.
totalFailingCountinteger: failing workflows in this folder and every folder under it. 0 on a create’s answer.

Is it safe to send again?

No. It takes no Idempotency-Key. If the first call made the folder, a retry answers 409 NAME_TAKEN; List folders shows it.
