Hi,

Is there a REST API call that will allow me to add the item to the mega menu on the hub site?

I found the PnP script but in my case, I would like to trigger the action from Power Automate using a standard connector.

Hi @Michal,

Yes, that should be possible via the TopNavigationbar of the navigation endpoint. That endpoint is also used for the hub navigation on a site collection which has been promoted as a hub.

Try something like below.

Uri

_api/web/Navigation/TopNavigationbar

Body

{ "__metadata": { "type": "SP.NavigationNode" }, "Title": "Power Automate and REST API!", "Url":"https://www.expiscornovus.com" }

Example screenshot of the end result. Keep in mind that the hub navigation sometimes is cached (so, it might take a bit of time to show up. In that case hit the edit button or ctrl+f5 a couple of times).

Thank you @Expiscornovus for your help. This works
I wonder how you find those REST API functions. I have spent hours looking for the nice documented source of those and couldn't find it.

Hi @Michal,

The main doc about REST API is a good starting point:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/complete-basic-operations-using-sharepoint-rest-endpoints

All the other stuff I found either via other threads on this forum or other forums (like StackOverflow) or via reflection in the Developer toolbar of my browser.

Just execute your steps in the interface and have a look in the Network tab. Normally that will give me some clues on what to use as well 😁
