Microsoft Flow not appearing on Site Pages 'for selected item'

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

I'm creating a flow for my site pages, which I only want to run manually based on the selected page.

 

The first step in my flow is "For a selected item". When I look for the site address, I'm unable to find my site in the list. So I manually type it in. The choice of lists then appear, but I cannot see 'Site Pages' so I manually add that one too.

 

Again if I wanted to update a list item. even though I type the site address and list name manually, all the custom columns I've added to my site pages appear, so I know it is reading the list correctly.

 

However, after I have saved the flow, and then go to my list, select an item, under flow, I do not see my newly created flow. 

 

Are Site Pages not compatible with 'For selected item' flows?

 

I did the exact same flow against a standard item list, and the flow appears.

    Hi @Cann0nf0dder,

     

    I am afraid that Site pages are not supported currently in the trigger “For a selected item”. Please try to submit a request on flow Ideas Forum so it might be added in the future releases:

    Hi @v-yamao-msft

     Thank you for your reply. I also reached out to the Twitter community yesterday about this issue. Apparently you can use "For a selected item" for site pages, but you need to use the GUID of the Site pages list, not the name.

     

    John Liu helped me, and blogged about it within hours.
