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,

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"
}

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" }
