# Project Create Action

With the help of the Project Create Action it is possible to create a project without using the "Add Project" dialog in Helmut FX. The node itself triggers the streams whose trigger is "create\_project" and transfers the parameters required for this. These are:

* name
* group
* category
* template
* project type

It is imperative that the template which is defined is physically present in the group that has been selected. This makes it possible, for example, in a workflow based on an existing project object to generate a copy in which the parameters defined in the node from the project object are used in the form of wildcards. Another conceivable variant would be to create a project in Helmut in which an XML is read from a third party system via a watch folder workflow.

The Project Create Action can be queried in every stream in which a project object is present.
