Ramakrishnan Ayyanar How to create folder using Apex code?
I tried to create folder via apex code
code:
Folder fold=new Folder();
fold.AccessType='Shared';
fold.DeveloperName=UserInfo.getUserName();
fold.AccessType='Shared';
fold.Name='testfolder';
fold.Type='Report';
insert fold;
i got the error dml not allowed on folder.
code:
Folder fold=new Folder();
fold.AccessType='Shared';
fold.DeveloperName=UserInfo.getUserName();
fold.AccessType='Shared';
fold.Name='testfolder';
fold.Type='Report';
insert fold;
i got the error dml not allowed on folder.
We can however create a folder manually and query it through apex.

It's possible create folder in apex code.
using metadata api converted to apex class.
I did that.
can you share how you achived this through metadata API, waiting for reply.
In my particular use case, any time a user is created, we want a shared folder created for this person.
The code I have used for this situation is as folows (noting this is not set up for unit testing):
@Future(Callout=true)
public static void createUserFolder(String name)
{
if ( Test.isRunningTest() || name == null || [SELECT Id FROM Folder WHERE Name = :name AND ParentId = :SHARED_FOLDER_ID].size() != 0 ) {
return;
}
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
Http http = new Http();
req.setMethod('POST');
req.setEndpoint(Url.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm() + '/services/data/v49.0/folders/');
req.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + UserInfo.getSessionId());
req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
req.setBody(JSON.serialize(new Map<String, String>{
'label' => name,
'name' => name.toLowerCase().replaceAll('[^a-zA-Z]', '_') + '_generated',
'type' => 'report',
'parentId' => SHARED_FOLDER_ID
}));
http.send(req);
}
