Creating lists with power automate

Hi,

 

I'm starting with Power Automate and I'm trying to create a flow that will create a new list, however I cannot seem to be able to do this from the dropdown list when editing a flow. I can add an item to a pre-existing list, but not create the list in the first place (or create one from a template).

 

Is it possible to create new lists using power automate or do I need to go for a more technical solution.

 

Thanks.

    Thanks, I'll have a look into this. It seems odd to me though that there is no drag and drop option for something I would have thought fairly basic.

    Thanks again.

    There is no "create list" action however you can use the SharePoint HTTP action to create a list via the SharePoint REST API.

    Here is a link to a blog post that shows how.
