Is it possible, in a script, to obtain a folder through its name rather than its internal ID?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Yes, it is possible to obtain a folder through its name rather than its internal ID in a script. However, this is not a direct process and involves using a search function to retrieve the internal ID of the folder based on its name. Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates this:

javascript
var folderSearch = search.create({
   type: search.Type.FOLDER,
   filters: [
      search.createFilter({
         name: 'name',
         operator: <http://search.Operator.IS|search.Operator.IS>,
         values: 'FolderName'
      })
   ],
   columns: ['internalid']
});

var resultSet = folderSearch.run();
var result = resultSet.getRange({start: 0, end: 1});
var folderId = result[0].getValue({name: 'internalid'});

In this code, a search is created for folders with the name 'FolderName'. The search is then run and the first result is retrieved. The internal ID of the folder is then extracted from the result. Please note that this method requires that the folder name is unique, otherwise, the search may return multiple results and you would need to implement additional logic to determine the correct folder. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
