Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi everyone, I am trying to make a flow that allows my team channel posts along with any attachments to be posted directly to the SharePoint News Web-part on my site. I have been trying to find resources on how to proceed with HTTP Requests to SharePoint but have not been able to find success. If anyone could help me with what sort of URI, headers, and Body I should be using in the http requests as well as the structure of the HTTP Requests, or if there is a better way than to use the SharePoint Rest API, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @AD-19090452-0,

You can use the create a new page method in the Graph API for this. In this case you want to use the promotionKind newsPost.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/sitepage-create?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http

Below is an example, if that helps?

1. I reused the sample payload from the documentation and added the promotionkind property. And the innerHtml uses the body/body/plainTextContent of the Get message details action.

  "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.sitePage",
