Rename folder for item in SharePoint

By default, the Create folder for item in SharePoint workflow produces a folder named Item Name (Item ID), which is adequate, but might not be exactly as required for some users.

This workflow action can be added after the Create folder for item in SharePoint action (or on any trigger) to rename the folder using data from the item to better describe the folder.

In the example below, we’ve added “Rename folder for item in SharePoint” after the folder creation step, and the folder is renamed to just the Item Name, taken from the previous “When item created” step in the workflow:
