Folder Increment Name Action
The Folder Increment Name Action node generates a new folder name by incrementing the provided folder name if a folder with the same name already exists.
The node checks the specified folder path and increases the folder name by appending a number until a non-existing folder name is found. No folder is created or modified — the node only returns the next available folder path.
The resulting folder path can then be used by subsequent nodes.
Input Parameters
Folder Path Full folder path (including folder name) that should be checked and incremented if necessary.
Output and Wildcards
The resulting folder path is returned and can be accessed using:
Behavior
Checks whether the specified folder already exists
If it exists, increments the folder name (e.g.,
myProject→myProject_1→myProject_2, etc.)Returns the first available folder path
Does not create or modify any folder
Supports asynchronous execution
Typical Use Cases
generating unique project directories
preventing overwriting existing delivery folders
versioning output folder names
preparing archive destinations
Practical Note
Use this node when you need a safe destination folder name without overwriting or skipping the workflow. It’s commonly combined with Folder Create Action to create the returned unique folder path in the next step.
