Creating a new folder using text boxes and action tools

I have workflow to create a new folder.  I am using 1 text box to enter the users username and 1 text box to enter the date.  I want these inputs to update the filepath and I am using action tools.  I receive the error: Error running Event #1: Failed to run external program "powershell": The directory name is invalid. (267)" I have attached the workflow.

@kristinfreitas The same workflow worked for me. Make sure that your folder path is correct.

Thank you! We have double checked our folder path is correct and it's still erroring out for us unfortunately!
