Hello Community,

I have built a basic flow to copy a page file to the "Site Pages" library.

Now I want to use Power Automate to set that new page as the site home page, but I have no idea where to even start.

Has done else done this? If so, please provide guidance and examples.

Thanks!

Tom

Hi @trice602,

Great suggested approach, thanks for sharing 👍

Just tested the below. I think it also needs a X-HTTP-Method with a MERGE value in the Headers to work. I was getting an error without that key/value pair.

{ "Accept" : "application/json;odata=verbose", "Content-Type" : "application/json;odata=verbose", "X-HTTP-Method" : "MERGE" }

Hi,

The way to do this is to send an HTTP request to SharePoint. The two key items are the URI and body, shown below.

_api/web/RootFolder

{
"__metadata": {
"type": "SP.Folder"
},
"WelcomePage": "SitePages/YourPageName.aspx"
}
