Why get the content type from Content Type Hub(CTH )? Content Type Hub is a centralized location where we manage and publish content types to other web applications. Content Type Hub is actually a Site Collection.  "In simple words, it is one place where you get to manage all the content type present in a tenant." To get all the Content Type from ContentTypeHub using REST API V2.* becomes easy now. It involves only the following two steps: Get the site ID of the ContentTypeHub https:// {YourtenantURL} /sites/contentTypeHub/_api/site Get all content types https:// {YourtenantURL} /_api/v2.1/sites/ {siteID of ContentTypeHub} /contentTypes Step 1: I am g etting the site ID of the ContentTypeHub by calling the REST API. As this is still from V1.0 endpoint, after  '/api'  , there is no need to mention the endpoint version.  In the success method, I am calling the method  getAllContentTypes  which will get the content types. var  siteURL=_spPageContextInfo.s...

If you are working on SharePoint, you know it is easy to send an email to SharePoint groups through SPD/Nintex workflows, because these are the apps related to SharePoint which know the SharePoint context. On the other hand, MS Flow is a separate Office 365 app and independent of SharePoint but this also helps in automating the workflows. However, here comes the issue. MS Flow can recognize the O365 users but there is no straightforward way to get the SharePoint group users from the dynamic data.   There are different ways to achieve this solution. In one of the articles I read online, the user did a REST call to get all the group users from the group and had to use for each loop to get all the users' email ids in a variable. Then, the author used the variable to send an email. But I found the following way very simple and time-saving.   In short, we are going to send an email via SharePoint Rest API by hitting  "/_api/SP.Utilities.Utility.SendEmail"   pointing to se...

The Azure Cognitive Services Face API provides algorithms that are used to detect, recognize, and analyze human faces in images. The ability to process human face information is important in many different software scenarios. Example scenarios are security, natural user interface, image content analysis and management, mobile apps, and robotics. In this example, we will see that when a user uploads an image in the document library, the MS flow will be triggered and sends an email about the analysis of the image.   Steps to create the Face API resource in the Azure portal   If you do not have an Azure subscription, create a  free account  before you begin.   Step 1   Login to your Azure account.
