Create Archive Folder

Hello! I'm working on an Alteryx workflow and need some advice. My goal is to check if a Folder exists on the shared path. If it does not, I want to automatically create a new folder within it named 'Arc_' followed by the current date (e.g., 'Arc_2022_02_02'). The creation should only happen if the Folder does not exist; otherwise, the folder will not be created. I have created in SSIS Using the File System Task Editor just looking to create this in Alteryx. 

 

Edit: I am looking to create an archive folder. if the folder does not exist then create else nothing.

How do you create a folder within a folder that doesn't exist?

Apologies for the confusion. Just looking to create a folder in a shared location. Just want to make sure the folder is not duplicated and the output would be folder name plus today's date..
