Power Automate sends an HTTP request to an Azure Function.

Part 2: Option 2: Use Microsoft 365 CLI with Power Automate The Microsoft 365 CLI provides commands to manage SharePoint sites. You can use it to lock a site and integrate it with Power Automate. Steps : Install Microsoft 365 CLI : Install the CLI on your local machine or server where the script will run. npm install -g @pnp/cli-microsoft365 CLI Command to Archive Site : Use the following command to set the site to read-only mode: m365 spo site set --url https:// .sharepoint.com/sites/ --lockstate ReadOnly Integrate with Power Automate : Similar to Option 1, host the CLI command in an Azure Function or Runbook. Trigger the function via an HTTP request from Power Automate. Option 3: Use Microsoft Graph API (Indirectly) While Microsoft Graph API does not have a direct endpoint to archive a site, you can use it to retrieve site details and then combine it with PowerShell or CLI scripts. Retrieve Site ID : Use the Microsoft Graph API to get the site ID: GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/ .sharepoint.com:/sites/ Pass Site ID to Script : Pass the retrieved site ID to your PowerShell or CLI script to perform the archiving operation.

To archive a SharePoint site using the SharePoint REST API or Microsoft Graph API, you need to use the appropriate endpoint and permissions. Solution Approach Option 1: Use PowerShell with Power Automate You can use PowerShell to archive a SharePoint site and trigger the script from Power Automate using an Azure Function or an HTTP-triggered automation. Steps : # Connect to SharePoint Online Connect-SPOService -Url https:// -admin.sharepoint.com # Archive the site Set-SPOSite -Identity https:// .sharepoint.com/sites/ -LockState ReadOnly Replace with your tenant name. Replace with the name of the site you want to archive. The -LockState ReadOnly parameter makes the site read-only, effectively archiving it. Integrate with Power Automate : Host the PowerShell script in an Azure Function or an Azure Automation Runbook. Create an HTTP-triggered function to execute the script. Use the "HTTP" action in Power Automate to call the Azure Function.
