Hi There

I would like to create a quick link from an existing library in the left navigation.

Cause its for multiple sharepoint sites I figured I'd create a flow. (Its always the same link)

Since I didnt find it in the standard sharepoint actions I guess i need to send a http request to sharepoint and write a json script.

How to I write a json script for this action?

Many Thanks

Hi @Expiscornovus
This solution works, however when i change the JSON body to reflect the data i want to put in it, i consistently get the "BadGateway" error. It says it retries twice then just times out with error details being nothing more than "BadGateway"
however if i do what shown above it works no problem, to the same site and everything. I also tried replacing the data just using a different site and it also worked perfectly.
I am losing my mind trying to figure this out. Please help

Hi, I've used this to create one link in the navigation. Is there a way to create multiple links in the navigation in one HTTP call?

Hi @JM_MS_Forum,

In that scenario you can use a different URI:

_api/Web/Navigation/GetNodeById(@{variables('ParentNodeId')})/Children

Any way to make this node a sub link under a defined parent?

Hi @Expiscornovus

Thanks for your answer.

I just changed the Name to Path and let it run. It ended with the same error.

Now I wanted to see if the filter array even makes a difference.
So i ran it with "is equal to" and got the same error.

Now I am afraid the filter is useless. Is the another way to filter this folders?

Thanks

Hi @Dan47,

Can you try and use the Path column instead of Name for your filter?

Hi @Expiscornovus

Thanks for the hint. I corrected it.

While taking a closer look at the error I saw it copying more system folders I didnt create.

I can exclude them but it won't work it still gives me the error above.

Thanks for your help
