Create shot folder on network from task

[Jason Evanko]

Hey yall! 

 

I was looking for a way to create a folder on our server based on a task that has been created in Ftrack. I saw the Folder creation action but can't find any good documentation on that or anything. Has anyone done this with success?

 

Thanks so much!

Hi Jason,

Here is documentation on Actions in ftrack. These are Python scripts that use our API to interact with ftrack. If this Action were running on a server with access to the location where you want to create the folders, it should be easy for someone with development experience to implement one.

We have a repository of example actions that can help someone get up and running faster by copying the basic structure of a pre-existing action:
https://bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-recipes/src/master/python/actions/

Currently, using the API is your quickest route to implementing folder creation in your pipeline.

Cheers,
Patrick
