Using this post as a guide, I was able to get a SharePoint folder copied, but I'm having trouble getting the rename to work. I'm just working with a Folder, not a Document Set, so the syntax is a bit different. As it's configured below, the folder gets copied, but has the name "_Template1" - not the "Account Name" - appreciate any help. Thanks!

I know I have "Name" here instead of "name" as specified here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj247085.aspx but if I used the lowercase "name" it gave the below error

How did you do that Ryan?
I was presuming you wanted a template folder copied within a destination - with unique name / reference?

Figured out I could just Create a File and add a custom Folder path that way, then go back and delete the file.

I've tried this without single quotes around 'name' and the results are the same:

"status": 400,
"message": "The property 'name' does not exist on type 'SP.Folder'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type.\r\nclientRequestId: 5b0d9565-cc96-49af-891d-cde71c3bc216\r\nserviceRequestId: cd01999e-80c9-7000-f816-9c9d436fc220",
