Hello,

I am having trouble with a flow targeting a OneNote notebook ("Mouvement de personnel") stored in a SharePoint document library.

The "Get sections in notebook" and "Filter sections" actions consistently return an empty array ("value": []) for this notebook, preventing me from identifying the specific section "Arrivée 2026". It appears the standard OneNote connector cannot index notebooks stored in SharePoint sites.

Has anyone successfully listed sections for SharePoint-hosted OneNote files using the standard connector? If not, is using the SharePoint HTTP request the only reliable workaround?

Thanks.

Hi there!

What I would do if this was my project is move this back to OneDrive for Business, use a service account for the connection strings for OneDrive and you will resolve 99% of the issues.

Here's the recommended other options in the order I would propose (your option is the last for dependability, scalability, reliability).

My preference order for a production solution would be:

Dataverse
SharePoint List
OneDrive-hosted OneNote under a service account
SharePoint-hosted OneNote (what you're using now)

OneNote should be your VERY LAST OPTION IN THE WORLD for anything power automate related.

For a quick fix, though, moving the notebook to a service account's OneDrive is a very reasonable next step and would likely avoid the connector issue you're experiencing.
