Check-in and Check-out document without using MS Flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

 

Good day!

 

We are currently building out Sharepoint Library, and it would store massive amounts of documents, currently, we are trying to figure out a way to check out documents with powerapps only. 

 

We know that it can be achieved through PWApps and Flow, but we have limited flow counts, so our only option is if there is such a function that would allow us to check-out/in documents in powerapps only.

 

Thank you!

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Do you want to Check in or Check out SP Library doc using PowerApps app only?

     

    Currently, within PowerApps, there is no function supported to Check in or Check out SP Library doc. If you want to use PowerApps app to check in or check out SP Library doc, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs.

     

    As an alternative solution, I think Customer connector could achieve your needs. You could consider create a custom connector based on Microsoft Graph REST API within your PowerApps, then within the custom connector, define the Check In and Check Out action based on the following action path:

    Check In action path:

    POST /drives/{driveId}/items/{itemId}/checkin
    POST /groups/{groupId}/drive/items/{itemId}/checkin
    POST /me/drive/items/{item-id}/checkin
    POST /sites/{siteId}/drive/items/{itemId}/checkin
    POST /users/{userId}/drive/items/{itemId}/checkin

    Check Out action path:

    POST /drives/{driveId}/items/{itemId}/checkout
    POST /groups/{groupId}/drive/items/{itemId}/checkout
    POST /me/drive/items/{item-id}/checkout
    POST /sites/{siteId}/drive/items/{itemId}/checkout
    POST /users/{userId}/drive/items/{itemId}/checkout

     

    After that, you could create a connection to above custom connector in your app, then you could use the Check In and Check Out action within your app.
