I need to create a folder with subfolders in a document library in Sharepoint Online when a new item is created in a separate list. While researching, I see others use the Create Item or Create Folder actions, neither of which I have in my list of actions. How can I accomplish this?

If the folder already exists, it will ignore the action and your workflow will continue. It took me some time to figure this out since the Nintex help on this is not too helpful 😉 "Expire Year" is the variable I use to set the folder name.
