Hello,
I’m currently working on an InHouse Office365 Library for my company. To do this we are using the Microsoft Graph API to gain speed, reliability and control over our activities.
I have every single important action developed and working, with the exception of the upload local file to sharepoint. I’m having a real hard time understanding how to use it.
On postman and HTTP Request Wizard I can get it to work reliably, using the following details:
The problem I’m facing is that, whenever I try running the HTTP Request Activity, I can’t get the upload to work with files diferent from .pdf
The HTTP Request Activity is configured exactly like the requests above, with the single diference being that I have to use the “File Attachment” argument with a ICollection(Of ILocalResource) and the body format as application/xml. For some reason this is not working.
Does anyone have experience using Microsoft Graph via HTTP Request? Have you ever uploaded a file via HTTP Request?

Hello, Paul! Our team has a couple reasons for using the Graph API directly.
The main one is that we are building different interactions to Microsft products not encompassed in the Integration Service!And since we now have projects using this API, we figured we could also extend the use for Sharepoint integration.
The other reason is we find that sometimes the integration service activities can feel a little inconsistent, and lack a couple features we would like, so we are implementing everything in house so we can have the most custom made activities for our needs.
We have it working normally. The secret is to use the “Response attachment” Output argument on the HTTP Request Activity with your endpoint.
About the endpoint. There are many options, so I would just browse either the Microsof Graph Documentation page or other threads/forums, so you can chose the one you find the most suitable for you.
You can build a custom Integration to ‘cover the gaps’ so to speak, managing your connections via the Integration Service is really nice instead of having to manage tokens in your own library.
Too late now I know, but food for thought for the future.
The Integration service stuff is for sure lacking alot of stuff, but especially now they started adding a generic ‘HTTP request’ activity for most connections you can now cover most of the gaps without re-inventing the wheel as was said.
