Get folder metadata Action in SharePoint Connector
This action retrieves additional information about a folder on SharePoint, such as the folder name and who updated it.
It requires the ID of the folder as a parameter, but is used infrequently because if the ID of the folder is known, other metadata is often obtained as well.
