My goal:
I want employees to submit internal news on a SharePoint site, but don't want to give them the power to create pages.
My flow idea:
- User submits MS Form. Fields include author/employee name, article title, article content, date to be published, topic, and optional attachments.
- Flows creates a news post in SharePoint and marks it as "pending." The post would use a page template, which would include article title, article content, date published, topic, and any attachments the employee submitted.
- A site admin would review the submission (i.e., the "pending" news post) and mark it as "approved," which would make the news post visible on the site.
Questions:
- Is there a better method than Forms > SharePoint page?
- Is there something built into SharePoint that could accomplish this without using Power Automate?
- Can someone please give me an outline of the actions needed to complete this flow? I'm very much a novice.
- If there are any resources you know of that could help me create this process, can you share them with me?
Edit: I created two separate flows (Forms > SharePoint list item, then SharePoint list item > SharePoint page). I'm still trying to eliminate some errors in those processes, but then had the thought of trying to combine it all into one Flow.
