Create SharePoint List using Power Apps and Power Automate

Learn how to create a SharePoint List and add columns to it using Power Apps and Power Automate. This is done by calling the SharePoint Rest API via the SharePoint HTTP action in flow. You will use a Power Apps app that allows you to dynamically provide the list name, the column names, column type (FieldTypeKind), and required or not. Then you will save your choices in a collection that is sent to Power Automate flow via the JSON function. Once in flow you will use Parse JSON and Apply to each to loop through the array and provide values to the SharePoint HTTP actions. A little nerdy but some great skills to learn.
