how to get multiple folder path on the azure logic app - python-3.x

Question

I have a scenario : I want to build an azure logic app, where I have to got documents from various folder from the Sharepoint get process and give email notification. My confusion is how can I give multiple input folder path?

I'm going to make an assumptions with your architecture in my answer. I'm assuming you want to process multiple files in different sites within the same SharePoint tenant. So, not across tenants.
To achieve what you're asking for, I created a Parse JSON action which takes in the following structure (as an example, obviously the structure is the key point here, not the data) ...
Scenario 1 - Specific Files
[
{
"SiteName": "ExampleSolution",
"FileName": "/Shared Documents/General/Book.xlsx"
},
{
"SiteName": "TestSite",
"FileName": "/Shared Documents/Test Folder/Document.docx"
}
]
The SP tenant needs to be authenticated to with the appropriate user.
Then, in a For Each action, loop through each item and retrieve the contents of each document using the Get file content using path action.
Site Address = concat('https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/', items('For_each')?['SiteName'])
File Path = File Name (from Dynamic Content)
It will then retrieve the contents dynamically using those expressions.
File 1 (Excel Document)
File 2 (Word Document)
Scenario 2 - All Files
If you want to do it for all files, just change it up slightly ...
[
{
"FolderName": "/Shared Documents/General",
"SiteName": "ExampleSolution"
},
{
"FolderName": "/Shared Documents/Test Folder",
"SiteName": "TestSite"
}
]
Site Address = concat('https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/', items('For_each')?['SiteName'])
File Identifier = Folder Name (from Dynamic Content)
Output - Folder 1

From here, just process each file individually using one of the files actions like in the first scenario above.
Note: You'll need to work through sub folders and recursion. There doesn't appear to be a way to do that easily.
You've provided very little information but it should be enough for you to adapt it accordingly.
Also, I strongly recommend you use a means other than a hardcoded JSON document in the action itself. There are way better means for housing that information which wouldn't result in a need to update the action itself everytime you want to add or delete a file.
The concept of the loop and and the expressions are the most important part to grasp as they will give you what you want.
