Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/formstack/move_forms_to_folder

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Move one or more forms into a folder, or into a new one.

Formstack API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/formstack.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/formstack/forms-to-folder/move`

Access: write.

Moves the forms into the folder, the same as the move to option in the Forms tab. Give folder_id for an existing folder, or new_folder_name to create it and move in one step. Moving reaches no one and is undone by moving the forms back, so it does not wait for your OK. Moving a form out of a folder removes it from users who only have access to that folder.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `form_ids` | string[] | yes | Form IDs from list_forms. |
| `folder_id` | string | no | Folder ID from list_folders. Give this or new_folder_name. |
| `new_folder_name` | string | no | Name of a folder to create and move the forms into. |

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
