Hi, Is it possible to create a News Items in a SharePoint Modern site using Flow with data from a SharePoint Online list within the same site? If yes, how? Thank you

FeelGroovie This is interesting. I'll have to give this a try, I've been busy with other things so I haven't had any time to dedicate to solving this. I'm still subscribing to all of my feeds in an RSS reader and then manually updating them once or twice a week.
I'd like to know a few more specifics on how you are doing this, for instance what is the URL that you are sending the HTTP Request to (relatively of course).

The Site address is just that. The site which you wish to create the news story in. In my case its:
"https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/NewsTest"
The http request will call the API to that site and create a news article using the link you provide it. You can test it by creating a simple flow with a manual trigger and adding text into the Send HTTP body instead of using variables like so;
{"BannerImageUrl":"",
"Description":"[NEWS DESCRIPTION]",
"IsBannerImageUrlExternal":"true",
"OriginalSourceUrl":"[ENTER URL OF NEWS STORY HERE]",
"ShouldSaveAsDraft":false,
"Title":"[NEWS TITLE]"
}

Sorry to bring this up after so many years, but i was wondering what you put in here
"OriginalSourceUrl":"[ENTER URL OF NEWS STORY HERE]",
Could you please clarify what this is?
Thanks
