Im creating a flow that creates new Document Librarys in different placed based on the Title in a form.

I would like to make the flow add Content types that i select to the different librarys.

In the content hub i have created 3 Content types, Contentype 1 and so on.
The flow generates a new Docemnt library but how can i add the Contenttype1 to the library in the flow?
Im using a Send Http request for creating the document library.

Hi @JimmyWork
there are few solutions that could help you:

- In one hand you have the custom connectors from Plumsail SP, they have multiple actions to modify, add and manage content types and document libraries. Idk exaclty for what you need it, but it will make your life easier for sure. Take a look.
- If, on the other hand, would you like to do it by your own, honestly I have never did it using Flow, but Powershell. Take a look to the following REST options (using Sharepoint HTTP Rest call action), for sure is the unique alternative you have and you can even create your custom Flow connector:

I understand that Microsoft has changed how Content Types are made available to site. Previously they where pushed to all sites. Now you have to pull them to the site. Because of this I had to go with a site script because of this change. The other way is via PnP PowerShell.
