Keep people context with moved files
A renamed file can still point to the people who matter if the context follows it.
Trigger
Item Moved or Renamed
Triggers when a file or folder is moved to a different path or renamed in OneDrive. Includes both old and new path/name data in the payload.
Action
Get all persons
The affinity api offers paginated access to person data using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. bulk extraction needs special permissions and supports multiple parameters.
