Using Power Automate to Create a Photo Library and Add it to the Navigation

One of our clients came to us with a request for creating a SharePoint site automatically based on a project management list. If a project was set to "Start", then a SharePoint site would be created. That will be covered in another article, but one of the interesting asks was to automatically include a photo library that would also be displayed in the QuickLaunch Navigation.

I referenced this article for the API syntax: http://www.ludovicperrichon.com/sharepoint-rest-api-call-with-powerautomate/#createlink

1. Create your flow however you like, a simple way to set this up is to create an instant flow and use the button trigger with a single input for the SiteURL. 
2. Create a "Send HTTP request to SharePoint" step. 
1. Site address: SiteURL
2. Method: POST
3. URI: _api/web/lists
4. Headers:   
1. Accept | application/json;odata=verbose
2. Content-Type | application/json;odata=verbose
5. Body: 

{

"__metadata":{

"type": "SP.List"

},

"AllowContentTypes": true,

"BaseTemplate": 109,

"ContentTypesEnabled": false,

"Description": "Photo library for __________",

"Title": "Photos"

}

3. Add another "HTTP to SharePoint" step
1. Site address: SiteURL
2. Method: POST
3. URI: _api/web/Navigation/QuickLaunch
4. Headers:   
1. Accept | application/json;odata=verbose
2. Content-Type | application/json;odata=verbose
5. Body: 

{

"__metadata": { "type": "SP.NavigationNode"},

"IsExternal": false,

"Title": "Photos",

"Url": "SITEURL/photos"
}
