How to create document set using Microsoft Flow?

Hi Flow Community,

Does anyone have experience creating document sets with Flow? I understand this isn't explicitly achievable out of the box however I have read only it can be done with HTTP post actions.

The plan for me would be to create a flow which automatically creates a document set after a given trigger. For example, an item is added to a list which triggers the flow and fields X, Y and Z from the list item are also added to fields of the document set - customer first name, last name ect.

I found this blog helpful:

As a new flow user sending HTTP requests and parsing JSON seems complex so it would be great to hear the communities experience.

Check out my post to show how to create or add new instance of a Document Set (like adding a new folder) to a SharePoint Document Library using the power automate action 'Send HTTP Request to SharePoint' as a POST request with the URI using the ListItem update method AddValidateUpdateItemUsingPath

You can create the Document Set and set all of the metadata in a single request.
