OneNote Notebook automated notification failing

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
I have a OneNote notebook that is shared to a couple of individuals but sits in my account.  I want to send an email when I create a new page in a particular section, letting these people know there is new content.
Ideally, it would run every week and group new content but 'as it happens' would do in a pinch.
No success as yet in getting the process to work as a test.

I used COPY LINK TO SECTION and put the highlighted text into my flow.  Tried with and without {}.

Flow checker says: The section id given in the input is invalid. 
 
Any thoughts appreciated.

    The sectionId requires an API URL, not just the GUID of the section.
     
    You can also see that value when you select one of the section manually and use the peek code option in the action.
     
     
    https://www.onenote.com/api/v1.0/myOrganization/siteCollections/<siteid>/sites/<webid>/notes/sections/1-<sectionid>/pages
    Below is an example of that. In that example I dynamically retrieve the siteid and webid GUIDs via a couple of HTTP requests.
     
    https://www.onenote.com/api/v1.0/myOrganization/siteCollections/@{outputs('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint_-_SiteId')?['body']['value']}/sites/@{outputs('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint_-_WebId')?['body']['value']}/notes/sections/1-@{variables('SectionId')}/pages
