    Two things to check:
    1. What are you passing as the Section ID into 'Get pages for a specific section'? If you're using the section ID from 'Get sections in notebook' directly, make sure it's the actual ID field and not the section name or self URL. Open the output of 'Get sections in notebook' and confirm which field you're mapping.

    2. There's a known issue where the OneNote pages API returns an empty value array even when pages exist, caused by orphaned section groups or corrupted notebook metadata in the backend SharePoint library. If your notebook is stored in a Teams/SharePoint site, this is worth checking. A Microsoft Q&A thread from March 2026 confirmed this affects the /pages endpoint at the Graph level, not just Power Automate. If that's the case, your IT admin would need to clean up the orphaned folders in the backend document library.
    Can you open the 'Get pages for a specific section' action and share what value is set in the Section field?
