MS SharePoint – Sites – Get Site Content Types

Retrieves content types available at site scope. A content type describes a reusable schema; it is not a list record or file MIME type.

Action details

Property	Value
Action label	MS SharePoint – Sites – Get Site Content Types
Category	CloudTools
Apex class and method	GetSharePointSiteContentTypes.getSiteContentTypes
Input type	GetSharePointSiteContentTypes.GetSharePointSiteContentTypesInput
Output type	List<List<SharePointContentType>>
Authorization	OAuth Delegated (Authorization Code) or OAuth Application (Client Credentials), subject to endpoint restrictions.
Microsoft Graph request	GET /v1.0/sites/{siteId}/contentTypes

Prerequisites and permissions

Configure a CloudTools Connector with Connector Type set to Microsoft 365. Complete user sign-in for delegated access. For supported application access, grant application permissions and administrator consent. The calling identity must have access to the relevant site, list, library, or item; tenant policy and resource configuration still apply.

The action permission provider declares the following permission alternatives. These are not cumulative requirements and not all are least privileged. Check the linked Microsoft reference for the endpoint, authorization type, and current restrictions.

Permission type	Declared alternatives
Delegated	Sites.Read.All, Sites.Manage.All, Sites.FullControl.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All
Application	Sites.Read.All, Sites.Manage.All, Sites.FullControl.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All

See the Microsoft operation and permissions reference.

Inputs

Supply one non-null request with nonblank required identifiers. IDs must belong to the indicated site, list, or drive; do not substitute Salesforce IDs or browser URLs.

Input	Apex field	Type	Required	Description
Site Id	siteId	String	Yes	SharePoint site identifier.
Filter	filterQuery	String	No	OData filter expression. Supply the OData value only, without a query parameter name or full URL. Microsoft validates supported values.
Select	selectQuery	String	No	Comma-separated properties to return. Supply the OData value only, without a query parameter name or full URL. Microsoft validates supported values.
Expand	expandQuery	String	No	Comma-separated related resources to expand. Supply the OData value only, without a query parameter name or full URL. Microsoft validates supported values.
Order By	orderbyQuery	String	No	Comma-separated properties to sort by. Supply the OData value only, without a query parameter name or full URL. Microsoft validates supported values.
Top	topQuery	String	No	Number of items to return. Supply the OData value only, without a query parameter name or full URL. Microsoft validates supported values.

The global invocable input does not expose connectorId. Direct subscriber Apex and Flow calls use CloudTools connector selection. Resolve dynamic values before invocation; this action does not resolve replacement tokens.

Outputs

Returns one outer result containing the resource collection for the first request. In Apex, read results[0]; Flow receives the collection output. The LWC library returns a flat array.

The implementation maps the response collection without following or exposing @odata.nextLink. Results can contain only the first page. Top, where exposed, controls the requested page size rather than guaranteeing complete retrieval. There is no continuation URL input.

Output	Apex field	Type	Description
Id	id	String	Unique identifier for the content type.
Name	name	String	Name of the content type.
Description	description	String	Description of the content type.
Group	groupName	String	Group name the content type belongs to.
Parent Id	parentId	String	Identifier of the parent content type.
Hidden	hidden	Boolean	Whether the content type is hidden in the New menu.
Is Built In	isBuiltIn	Boolean	Whether the content type is built in.
Propagate Changes	propagateChanges	Boolean	Whether updates are pushed to inherited content types.
Read Only	readOnly	Boolean	Whether the content type is read-only.
Sealed	sealed	Boolean	Whether the content type is sealed.
ETag	eTag	String	Entity tag for optimistic concurrency.
OData Type	odataType	String	OData type for the content type.
OData ETag	odataEtag	String	OData ETag for the content type.
Inherited From	inheritedFrom	SharePointCTItemReference	Reference to the inherited source item.
Order	order	SharePointCTOrder	Ordering details for the content type.
Base	baseContentType	SharePointBaseContentType	Parent content type summary.
Base Types	baseTypes	List<SharePointBaseContentType>	Ancestor content type summaries.
Associated Hubs Urls	associatedHubsUrls	List<String>	Associated content type hub URLs.
Additional Properties	additionalProperties	List<DynamicObject>	Additional properties from user-defined query.

Use in Flow

Add MS SharePoint – Sites – Get Site Content Types in Flow Builder. Use a Microsoft 365 application connector configured as Set as default for Flow automations, supply the required resource IDs, and add fault handling. Delegated connections are not supported for CloudTools Flow automation. This implementation processes only the first input request and is not a bulk operation.

Use in custom Apex

This subscriber-org example uses the Apptigent namespace. Replace the identifiers, configure the connector, and run in a context that permits callouts. Arrange authorization before calling and handle exceptions in the caller.

Apptigent.GetSharePointSiteContentTypes.GetSharePointSiteContentTypesInput request =
    new Apptigent.GetSharePointSiteContentTypes.GetSharePointSiteContentTypesInput();
request.siteId = 'REPLACE_WITH_SITE_ID';

List<List<Apptigent.SharePointContentType>> results =
    Apptigent.GetSharePointSiteContentTypes.getSiteContentTypes(
        new List<Apptigent.GetSharePointSiteContentTypes.GetSharePointSiteContentTypesInput>{ request }
    );

List<Apptigent.SharePointContentType> items = results.isEmpty()
    ? new List<Apptigent.SharePointContentType>() : results[0];
System.debug(items.size());

Use in a Lightning Web Component

Use getSharePointSiteContentTypes from msSharePointConnectorLib, through MSSharePointConnectorController. These c/ imports apply to an LWC in the same namespace. The function accepts one request object, including connectorId when applicable.

Set request.connectorId to select a configured Connector record. The controller passes this request selection through SharePointAction. The field belongs to the controller request, not the global invocable input type.

sharePointActionExample.js

import { LightningElement } from 'lwc';
import { getSharePointSiteContentTypes, MSSharePointObjects } from 'c/msSharePointConnectorLib';

export default class SharePointActionExample extends LightningElement {
    connectorId = 'REPLACE_WITH_CONNECTOR_RECORD_ID';
    result = null;
    errorMessage = '';
    isRunning = false;
    completed = false;

    async handleRun() {
        if (this.isRunning) {
            return;
        }
        this.isRunning = true;
        this.errorMessage = '';
        try {
            const request = MSSharePointObjects.inputs.site();
            request.connectorId = this.connectorId;
            request.siteId = 'REPLACE_WITH_SITE_ID';
            const result = await getSharePointSiteContentTypes(request);
            if (!Array.isArray(result)) {
                throw new Error('The action did not return a usable result.');
            }
            this.result = result;
            this.completed = true;
        } catch (error) {
            this.errorMessage = error.requiresInteractiveAuthorization
                ? 'Sign in to Microsoft for the connector, then try again.'
                : error.message || 'The SharePoint action failed.';
        } finally {
            this.isRunning = false;
        }
    }
}

sharePointActionExample.html

<template>
    <lightning-button label="Run action" onclick={handleRun}
        disabled={isRunning}></lightning-button>
    <p role="alert">{errorMessage}</p>
</template>

The library resolves to a flat array without the outer Apex collection.

LWC rawJson serializes the mapped Apex object; it is not the untouched Microsoft response or an additional global invocable output. Use getMSSharePointAuthorizationState, beginMSSharePointAuthorization, and createMSSharePointOAuthMessageHandler to arrange delegated sign-in. The library normalizes controller errors, including requiresInteractiveAuthorization when available; it does not automatically sign in or retry.

Error handling and troubleshooting

Symptom	What to check
Required fields error	Supply a nonempty request list, a non-null first request, and the required identifiers or body values.
Authorization or access denied	Check connector selection, sign-in, application versus delegated permissions, administrator consent, and resource access.
Resource not found	Verify the parent site, list, and drive IDs. Distinguish list item IDs from drive item IDs and retain permission or version IDs with their resource.
Missing fields or items	Check query inputs, first-page behavior, supported expansions, item type, and mapped output limitations.
Unexpected connector	Review the connector selection behavior described above and the Microsoft 365 default connector.
Operation rejected	Inspect the Microsoft error, JSON field values, library or page state, supported API capabilities, and tenant policies.
