    "description": "Folder Validation and Type\n--------------------------\nIt is recommended that the connector validate the entered **Fully Qualified Name** of the folder before making subsequent calls.\nThis can be done with the Get Folders API. If there is no folder by that name, then the call will return 0 items, and the error can be flagged to the user. The *Id* of the folder returned in the response should also be stored as it will be needed in some API calls like _StartProcess_ and has to be used as HTTP Header property value for *X-UIPATH-OrganizationUnitId*.\n\nDepending on the type of the folder (Classic or Modern), the configuration of certain API calls like Start Job will change. So, it is necessary to know the type of the folder to enable proper configuration of those API calls. The folder type is indicated by the **ProvisionType** of the folder in the Get Folders API response. **Modern folders** are **Automatic**, whereas **classic folders** are **Manual**."
