HI, how do I use a zap to trigger Gmail to create a new folder as part of new client on-boarding?

@Franticfairy Folders within Gmail are called Labels. You can easily create a new label through this action step: 

 

You can also automatically label new emails. To achieve that your trigger should be “New Email” or “New Email Matching Search” - have an optional filter - and as action “Add Label to Email in Gmail”.

 

Hope this helps!
