Get folder metadata using path Action in SharePoint Connector
This action retrieves additional information about a folder on SharePoint (e.g., folder name, updated name, etc.) by specifying the folder path.
Since the ID can be retrieved by specifying the path, this action is also useful for other actions that require the ID.
