I try to rebuild this, but I am not authorized. We try to hand over an access token. What scopes do I need for setting this work location?

I have this working with the Body they mentioned above.
The time portion for formatDateTime comes from adding the "Current Time" action earlier in the flow.
And the SharePoint is just the "Send an HTTP Request to SharePoint" item.
Rather than making you manually deal with the access tokens, this offloads the Access Tokens to the SharePoint Connection.

 

The Manually triggering the flow is just for Demo purposes, of course. 

I'm hoping to try and make something that will look for my location at, say, 8am and if it is still my home set my location to "Working Remotely" but if I am at the Office, set it to "Office" 

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there is support for custom locations listed, or it might be useful that it could even show things like "At Client X" - but I suppose that could potentially just go in the Custom Status field instead.
