HowTo create a daily onenote page with content using power automate

What are we going to build?

This flow creates a daily OneNote page within a OneNote Section(In my Case: „Daily Notes“ with the title of today’s date and the day of the week with the content you want in the page.

1. Create a Flow at http://www.flow.microsoft.com and give it a name.
2. Choose „recurrence“ as a trigger. In our Case we will trigger the flow every day at 7:00

3. Initialize a variable as array for each weekday

Create a „Compose“ Action and use the Function:

utcNow()

4. Create another „Compose“ Action with following expression to get a „number“ for the week. This will help „calculate“ the Weekday for the OneNote title.

dayOfWeek(outputs('Get_UTC_Date_and_Time_now'))

5. Another LAST „Compose“ for getting the weekday as an output:

variables('Days of the Week')[sub(outputs('Get_Day_of_the_Week_(Number)'), 1)]

5. new action: „Create Page in OneNote Section“ using the OneNote Connector.

the content inside the action is now classical HTML – https://html-online.com/editor/ This site is a HTML Editor.

If you want to use my Input and the Title with todays date and the weekday – be aware to insert the output of get day of the week:

use following function to get todays date:

formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'dd-MM-yyyy')
