This is exactly how to use Keyboard Maestro. When you start with a task you want to complete that is rather complex, and then automate some part of it.

- Prompt for User Input action to ask for the client name in MyClient variable.

- New Folder action “~/Clients/%Variable%MyClient%/Client Data”
- New Folder action “~/Clients/%Variable%MyClient%/Appendices”

If you want to select the folder that will be the client's parent folder, then use exactly the same For Each you ware already doing, and replace “~/Clients” with “%Variable%Path%”, so for example:
- New Folder action “%Variable%Path%/%Variable%MyClient%”
- New Folder action “%Variable%Path%/%Variable%MyClient%/Client Data”
