Power Automate SharePoint Connection via Service Principal

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 13
Hi everyone,
How can I connect Power Automate to SharePoint using an Azure AD Service Principal instead of a user account? I’ve set up an App Registration, added permissions (Sites.FullControl.All), and made it a SharePoint admin, but I don’t see a way to authenticate in Power Automate.
Do I need a custom connector or HTTP action, or is there another way?
Thanks!

    To use a Service Principal in Power Automate to connect to SharePoint, you need to use HTTP actions (via HTTP with Azure AD or generic HTTP) — not the standard SharePoint connector.
