Some the requirements may come like the below,

     

           Client need to create Email template folder through visualforce page. Consider you have a custom Visualforce page and one input text box and save button. When user give the name of email template folder in vf then save it means the Email template folder need to be created.

Here is the base code to create an email template folder,

1. HTTP h = new HTTP();
2. HTTPRequest req = new HTTPRequest();
3. req.setMethod('POST');
4. req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
5. req.setHeader('SOAPAction', 'create');
6.  
7. String b = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
8. b += '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">';
9. b += '<soapenv:Header>';
10. b += '<ns1:SessionHeader soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" xmlns:ns1="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">';
11. b += '<ns1:sessionId>' + UserInfo.getSessionId() + '</ns1:sessionId>';
12. b += '</ns1:SessionHeader>';
13. b += '</soapenv:Header>';
14. b += '<soapenv:Body>';
15. b += '<create xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">';
16. b += '<metadata xsi:type="EmailTemplateFolder" xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">';
17. b += '<name>PersonalTemplates</name>'; //Email template Folder Label Name
18. b += '<fullName>PersonalTemplates</fullName>'; //Email template Folder API Name
19. b += '<accessType>Public</accessType>'; // Email Template Folder Visibility
20. b += '<publicFolderAccess>ReadWrite</publicFolderAccess>'; //Email Template Access Level
21. b += '</metadata>';
22. b += '</create>';
23. b += '</soapenv:Body>';
24. b += '</soapenv:Envelope>';
25.  
26. req.setBody(b);
27. req.setCompressed(false);
28. // Set this to org's endpoint and add it to the remote site settings.
29. req.setEndpoint ('https://na15.salesforce.com/services/Soap/m/25.0'); // Change this domain based on your org. Like na17,ap1 something.
30. HTTPResponse resp = h.send(req);
31. System.debug(resp.getBody());

If you want to check this code working, Go to Developer console, click Execute Anonymous window (CTRL+E), Paste the above code and before execute this code Create remote site setting with your domain address mentioned in the above Code.
