I am trying to check if a Document Set already exists within my document library. In my Flow, I have a "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint, that is configured as...

Site Address: Site address to where my Doc library is

Method: Get

Uri: _api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativePath(decodedUrl='/DocumentLibrary/User')/Exists

Headers: Accept | application/json;odata=verbose

Content-Type | application/json;odata=verbose

I keep getting the error:

"Server relative urls mut start with SPWeb.ServerRelativeUrl\r\n"

Am I using the wrong api call? How do I get to check if a Document Set already exists?

Found my snag. The property I passed to the api had a leading slash, once I took that out my call worked.
incorrect: Uri: _api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativePath(decodedUrl='/DocumentLibrary/User')/Exists
correct: Uri: _api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativePath(decodedUrl='DocumentLibrary/User')/Exists
