Create a SharePoint online site using Power Automate flow

In this article, I will demonstrate how to provision a SharePoint online modern site using a Power automate flow. As there is no standard Power automate action for creating a SharePoint site (previously called “site collections”) using SharePoint connector, we will use the Send an HTTP Request to SharePoint action and SharePoint REST API in Power automate flow.

Follow below steps to create a SharePoint online modern communication site using Power Automate flow:

1. Go to make.powerautomate.com and create a new Instant cloud flow with Manually trigger a flow trigger.

2. Add Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action in Power automate flow.

3. Use configurations for Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action in below format:

Method: POST

Uri: _api/SPSiteManager/create

Headers: 

{
	"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
	"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose"
}

Body:

{
	"request": {
		"Title": "My Communication Site",
		"Url": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MyCommSite",
		"Description": "My Communication Site created using Power Automate flow",
		"Owner": "gsanap@contoso.com",
		"Lcid": 1033,
		"WebTemplate": "SITEPAGEPUBLISHING#0",
		"SiteDesignId": "6142d2a0-63a5-4ba0-aede-d9fefca2c767",
		"ShareByEmailEnabled": false
	}
}

Where,

Url

URL for the new SharePoint online modern site (site collection)

LCID

Locale identifier (LCID) for the site language. 1033 is for English language, check LCID for other languages at: Language.Lcid property

WebTemplate

WebTemplate property is used to specify which type of SharePoint site to you want to create. You can use following values for this property:

  • Communication Site: SITEPAGEPUBLISHING#0
  • Team Site (not connected to M365 group): STS#3

SiteDesignId

SiteDesignId property is used to apply site template (previously called “site design”) to newly created SharePoint site.

If you want to apply an out-of-the-box available site template, use the following values:

  • Topic: 96c933ac-3698-44c7-9f4a-5fd17d71af9e
  • Showcase: 6142d2a0-63a5-4ba0-aede-d9fefca2c767
  • Blank: f6cc5403-0d63-442e-96c0-285923709ffc

ShareByEmailEnabled

If this property is set to true, it will enable sharing SharePoint files via Email.

Your final Power automate flow should look like this:

4. Save your flow and Run it using Test > Manually options at the top right corner. After flow run completes successfully, navigate to the site URL mentioned in Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action in Power automate flow and you will see a newly created SharePoint online modern communication site like:

Manage Microsoft Teams and channel connected team sites in SharePoint admin center

With growing adoption of Microsoft Teams and Channels, Microsoft heard the feedback to simplify the management of Teams and Channel connected sites. Microsoft is enhancing the Active sites page experience in SharePoint admin center to include channel sites that are provisioned when a special channel is added to a Team in Microsoft Teams.

So now, when you go to a teams-connected site in SharePoint online admin center, you see all corresponding channel sites and can ensure that right optional security policies are inherited from the parent site.

Enhancements included in this release:

  • New Site connected to Teams view that filters the sites list to only sites that are Teams connected.
  • New Teams column identifying the site is connected to teams.
  • New Channel Sites column identifying the team connected site has associated Private or Shared channel sites.
  • Additional entry points to channel sites from Teams connected site info panel.
  • All new Active sites pivot showing the channel sites associated to the teams connected site.
  • The pivot includes a list of channel sites that are associated to the Teams connected site. This list will only include Private sites as of now and will expend to include other special sites in the future. Channel are view only and inherit properties from Teams that are managed in Teams admin center.
  • New Type column that accessible from the new Active Sites pivot.
  • Ability to manage Channel site storage limit.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 82161.

Release Timeline

Rollout will begin in early December 2021 and it is expected to complete the rollout by late January 2022.

How this will affect your organization

Historically, channel sites have been only accessible to admins through PowerShell and through the Microsoft Teams client app. With these enhancements admins can now access channel sites through SharePoint online admin center UX as well.
