Flow to create new News post on modern Communication site

[Bizzo]

I'd like to create a flow that would create a new News post on a modern Communication site. Looking into it, the news posts are just new (modern) pages that have promotedState=1, and it doesn't look like there's any way to create a new site page via Flow. I wanted to ask if anyone else has looked into this or figured out a way to make this work.

Hi @Bizzo,

Creating a new site page is not supported in microsoft flow currently,

I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.

If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

Hi @GabrielStJohn,

I was hoping I could rig up a workaround, but I haven't had time (and I'm not sure it will be a priority). We have news that's sent out via email. My idea was to parse the email as it's received and insert the body of the email into a list. That could kickoff a different flow or the flow could continue, but I thought I should be able to hit an endpoint using HTTP. The endpoint would be a page on the site, and using JSOM I could create a new page and add the content from the list into that page. I thought it might help someone else if I posted this as an idea.
