Trying to use REST API to Check In and Check Out a document in a library

[parvchana]

Hello experts / @sergeluca 

I was able to achieve flow trigger when a document is checked in to a share point library from this post

but it is not working when I document is checked out, wondering if there is a trick for this as well.

When a document is checked out, it doesn't trigger the flow? Any advise, alternate solution?

I know there is already an idea for this but wondering if it is solved while waiting on solution from Flow team.

Thanks in advance,

Parv

File check in/outs are not currently supported by the SharePoint connector, but it is currently a Planned feature on the product roadmap. 

Please see the Working with folders and files with REST SharePoint documentation and @Chakkaradeep's blog post, Working with the SharePoint Send HTTP Request flow action. You can query the CheckOut status via REST using a query such as:

api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('{everythingAfterTheDomainUpToTheFilename}/{filenameWithExtension}')/CheckOut()

Finally, the Plumsail SP connector is currently in Preview and offers checking in and checking out of documents with Flow. See their, How to check-in multiple SharePoint documents in Microsoft Flow and Azure Logic Apps blog post. As it is in preview, your mileage may vary.
