SFMC/Exact Target Fuel SOAP API - is there any way to create scheduled email send definition in to custom folder instead of My Tracking folder

Question

I'm scheduling created email send definition from user-initiated folder with the node js Fuel-SOAP API library, this gone to My Tracking directory Is it possible to assign the tracking destination custom folder through the API? Thanks in advance!

If you mouse over your custom folder you should see a numeric folder id in the link. In your soap request, use that ID in EmailSendDefinition.CategoryID property

Updated with example

var folderID = 12345;
            var sendESD = new ET_EmailSendDefinition
            {
                AuthStub = myclient,
                CustomerKey = newSendDefinitionName,
                CategoryID = folderID
            };
            var sendESDResponse = sendESD.Send();
            Console.WriteLine("Send Status: " + sendESDResponse.Status.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine("Message: " + sendESDResponse.Message);
            Console.WriteLine("Code: " + sendESDResponse.Code.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine("Results Length: " + sendESDResponse.Results.Length);
