To use this integration, you will need access to a OneNote notebook stored on OneDrive For Business. To make a connection, select Sign In. You will be prompted to provide your O365 account with OneDrive for Business enabled, follow the remainder of the screens to create a connection.

Known Issues and Limitations

  1. When using the connection, if you're not seeing the list of notebook you're expecting please check the account you created the connection with and try again. If you see an error while using the connector you may look up the error code for more information.
  2. This integration requires connecting with an account that has the "UserRemoteAPIs" permission. If you see this error: "Error: the user doesn't have permissions to access the requested resource", the account may not have the correct permissions. A SharePoint administrator can control permission levels by browsing to the site collection and opening the Site settings. Select the Site Permissions and then the Permission Level to see the permissions (such as the Use Remote Interfaces) the level contains. If a user belonging to a certain level doesn't have the required permission, either modify the level by checking the box for the permission or create a new permission level and assign that to the user.
  3. The connector currently does not support an explicit input parameter Page Title for the Create Page actions. This is a limitation arising from the OneNote API implementation. However, the title can be specified as a part of the Page Content in HTML by using the tags.
  4. Notebook section. If you want to provide a custom value for the Notebook Section parameter, please specify it in the API URL format. The api url pattern: https://www.onenote.com/api/v1.0/myOrganization/siteCollections/{siteCollectionsId}/sites/{SiteId}/notes/sections/{SectionId}/pages. For more information, you can take a look at OneNote API documentation.
  5. Create a page in Quick Notes action is not supported in following regions:
    • Logic Apps:
      • Azure Government
      • Azure China regions
    • Power Automate and Power Apps:
      • US Government (GCC)
