Power Automate - custom site design doesn't get applied

Hi all,

I try to apply a custom site design via power automation to a modern SharePoint site, which is created when a new Office 365 group had been created.

When I create the Sharepoint site programmatically with the Sharepoint Rest API (see below) OR apply the site template via the Sharepoint UI then the custom site design gets applied. So I know the site design works.

But I create the site via the Graph API to have an office 365 group. In the Graph API I couldn't find any way to apply a design so I thought I just create a child flow which solely applies the design. The HTTP post to the Sharepoint site via the Sharepoint API (see below) just doesn't do anything. I spend days now researching but there is no clue why this is not working.

Now I'm here and hope someone has an idea how to solve this issue.

Many thanks,

Christoph

Hi @Christoph007,

How many actions are included in your site scripts which are part of that site design you are trying to apply?

The ApplySiteDesign method is limited to 30 actions, so you might want to try the AddSiteDesignTaskToCurrentWeb method instead:

Hi @Expiscornovus

Thank you for coming back to me.
I wasn't aware of this limitation. Do subactions also contribute to the 30 actions limit?
If yes, then I think I'm above.

So I tried your proposed method and it works.
Thank you

Hi @Christoph007,

Can you remove that comma at the end? You don't need that because it is a single row in the json. This makes the json invalid.
