Create a folder or subfolder

You can create folders and subfolders in the user's contact folder. The ParentFolderId is optional. When it is not provided and a  folder is created, the folder appears in the user's contact folder. In the following sample code, the folder called "Support folder" is created as a subfolder in the specified ParentFolderId.  
POST https://localhost:8443/api/folder/create HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
X-Good-GD-AuthToken: <GDAuthToken>
{
  "FolderName": "Support folder",
  "ParentFolderId":"AQMkADk0YzU4MjdkLWU1YjktNGE0OC1iZDczLWJjOTEyYjE2M..." 
}
If the request is successful,
BEMS
 returns a 201 HTTP response code that the contact folder is successfully created.
If a folder with the same name exists in the parent folder,
BEMS
 returns a 200 HTTP response code and the folder is not saved.
{
 "ErrorMessage": "Support folder" already exists in this directory"
}
