# Create a list folder

`POST /business/folders`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.tryfuse.ai/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.tryfuse.ai/api/v1/business/folders`
- Auth: HTTP basic

Creates a folder of the given kind (`contactList` by default). List-folder names are unique per kind (409 FOLDER_NAME_TAKEN); campaign and agent folders are created in their own services and answer their codes. Put lists into the folder with `PATCH /business/lists/{listId}` (`folderId`).

Errors:
- `409` `FOLDER_NAME_TAKEN` — A folder of that kind already carries the name.
- `400` `INVALID_REQUEST` — campaign/agent kinds only: the owning service rejected the request.
- `422` `VALIDATION_FAILED` — name missing/blank/over 120 characters, type outside the enum, or an unknown body key.
- `429` `RATE_LIMITED` — The lists rate bucket (120 requests/minute, 10,000/day per token owner) is exhausted, or the owning service (campaign/agent folders) refused the call.

Requires one of the following token scopes: lists.
