Post Link to SharePoint Left Navigation Menu as Sublink

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 63

Dear all,

 

I managed to add a Link to the Left Navigation Menu using "Send http Request to SharePoint" in my Power Automate Flow.

But actually I would like to post the Link as a Sublink to an existing one. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? 🙂

    Hi @_Stella_,

     

    You can create this node via the Children method with a POST request. You just need to figure out the id of the Masterliste node. 

     

    Also have a look in this thread, there are a couple of example in there as well how to retrieve the node id

     

    Below is an example to create a child note.

     

    Uri

    _api/web/Navigation/GetNodeById(2006)/Children

     

    Body

    { 
     "__metadata": { type: "SP.NavigationNode" }, 
     "IsExternal": true, 
     "Title": "Post Here", 
     "Url": "https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Power-Automate/ct-p/MPACommunity" 
     }

    Dear @Expiscornovus , I came across one more question: Is the NodeID a static value so I could hard code it in my flow or is there a possibility it will change because of specific events? Thank you!

    Hi @_Stella_,

     

    The node id will be unique per node and can be different per site. One you create the id of the node should stay the same.

     

    That being said, if you don't remove or recreate the Masterliste node you can probably hard-code the id (2006) that for this specific site.
