I am trying to create a flow where I take responses from a form, and based on those responses, create various lists.

I want to test my flow and determine if the lists are being created correctly.

The "Sharepoint Item" action that can create a list appears to only allow posting that list on a Sharepoint site. However, with my company I do not have permission to post to any of the available Sharepoint sites.

Is there a way to post these draft lists to my personal Sharepoint page, or my Onedrive?

Thanks

Hi,

I think you mean "item" rather than "list".

The "SharePoint Item" action (called "Create item", a SharePoint action) requires that you have Contribute access to the SharePoint list you want to write to - that's a non-negotiable. If you don't have access, you can't write to it.

You can not use the "Create Item" for SharePoint in anywhere than SharePoint. You do not have a personal SharePoint page by default, and, OneDrive is not (in this case) SharePoint. There are OneDrive actions but they don't hold items, only files, since that's what OneDrive is for.

You will need to (if your organization permits) create your own SharePoint site, and then a SharePoint list within it, and test your flow there.

I would highly recommend that you learn a bit more about SharePoint before working with Power Automate. I think it will cause a lot of confusion and frustration for you. I do not mean to be rude, I am just worried that you will hit a lot of blockers without understanding what SharePoint is / does, versus the other products, and the terminology that goes along with it. (Site, List, Library, Item, File, etc.)
