How can I apply a SharePoint site template on an Azure PowerShell Runbook?

How would I apply a SharePoint site template, saved as an XML file in my One Drive, to a newly created site through a PowerShell Azure Runbook?

Currently, on my local machine, I use Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path "path to XML file" -ClearNavigation

I do not know where to store the XML file, or how to access it with a Runbook, thank you

Solution

  • You can store your xml file in the blob storage, then in azure runbook -> download the xml file from blob storage.

    The code in runbook like below:

    #download xml file from blob storage

 $account_name = "blob_storage_account_name"
 $account_key = "blob_storage_account_key"

$context = New-AzStorageContext -StorageAccountName $account_name -StorageAccountKey $account_key

$xml_name_local="your_xml_name_when_download_to_local"
$blob_name = "your_xml"
$container_name = "container_stored_xml_file"

Get-AzStorageBlobContent -Blob $blob_name -Container $container_name -Destination "$Env:temp\$xml_name_local" -Context $context

#then you can use "$Env:temp\$xml_name_local" to replace "path to XML file"

Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path "path to XML file" -ClearNavigation
