Hello,

I am trying to create a SharePoint list using Power Automate's REST API and define an internal name for the list. However, when I run the flow, I receive the following error:

Error Message:

Action 'Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint_(Create_a_list)-copy' failed: The property 'InternalName' does not exist on type 'SP.List'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type.

After checking the Microsoft documentation, I couldn't find any property related to InternalName.

How can I properly create a SharePoint list with a specified internal name using the REST API in Power Automate?

@MSR@08012015,

Thank you for your help, but I want to provide the internal name. This post explains only the Title, which is the display name.

When you create a list in SharePoint, "Title" is the only required column in a list and it is a default column in SharePoint with "item" content type.

Whatever the column value which provided it will mapped to Internal Column Name of the SharePoint List.

For e.g., if you provide the Title as TestList the Internal name of the list will appear as TestList whereas if you provided with spaces it will give as x0020 for space It's a variant of URL encoding, specific to SharePoint.

Encoding format check : https://www.urlencoder.org/enc/sharepoint%27s/

I hope this gives you clarity.
