Hi guys!

I want to upload a file to sharepoint by microsoft, but I don't know how to do it. Specifically I want to upload a pdf file.I read a post with a flow that uses the http request but I guess that it only works to publish data to a list. Can you give some advices to do it?

In SharePoint, a document library _is_ a list.

Are you using SharePoint on-premise or Office 365?

For SharePoint Online (Office 365), you need to set up and register your app using the libraries that Microsoft provide for accessing SharePoint from a node.js app (which is what Node-RED is).

Note that the owner of the tenancy has to permit you to do this and the system admin will need to register your app.

There is a LOT of documentation provided by Microsoft and you will need to do some research.
