Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I've been looking for a way to unpublish a SharePoint page using Power Automate, but so far, I haven't found any out-of-the-box actions that seem to do the job.

I came across some posts suggesting the /unpublish HTTP request, but in my case, it throws this error:
"Cannot find resource for the request unpublish."

Has anyone successfully automated unpublishing pages via Power Automate? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Using flows

Yes this is quite easily do-able. In the image below the news item has been changed from Published (Promoted State = 2) to Unpublished (Promoted State = 0)

I've put the ID of the page into a variable varID.

In your flow add a Send an HTTP Request to SharePoint action with:

Method: POST
Uri: _api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Site Pages')/Items(@{variables('varID')})

Headers - accept - application/json;odata=verbose

Headers - content-type - application/json;odata=verbose

Headers - If Match - *
Headers - X-HTTP-Method - MERGE

Body - { '__metadata':{'type':'SP.Data.SitePagesItem'},'PromotedState':0 }
