Inspecting SharePoint News Metadata in Flow
I have been unable to find a way to inspect News article page metadata via a Flow action. From looking at all the content through SharePoint, it would seem that a news article is essentially just a regular aspx page, but with a "Promoted State" value of 2 instead of 0. However, I'm unable to inspect this data within Flow. Similarly, I can't seem to find some of the other metadata properties, such as Author Byline, First Published Date, Like Count, etc.
If I use the "Get File Metadata" action, it only seems to pull the bare bones, such as LastModified, DisplayName, ID, Path, etc. Is there a different action I should be using to get the metadata I want (as above), or am I configuring this incorrectly?
So You do a trigger, whatever that is, Then get file properties pointing to same Site pages library. Then in any action after as shown in e-mail one I can reference it. I could use it in the Condition action as well by adding in Promoted State is equal to 2 etc.
- Last I used flow on this it worked fine and could see all the available columns. Make sure you are clicking the show more link on the right where the columns list out they usually get hidden in there.
Unfortunately they're not there for me. Once I click on Show More, the complete list I get is:
- DisplayName
- ETag
- FileLocator
- Id
- IsFolder
- ItemId
- LastModified
- MediaType
- Name
- Path
- Size
None of the other columns show up.
- Don’t think it’s the metadata action it’s the properties one. Been awhile I need to loon myself lol
