The SharePoint Module allows users to access and manage their SharePoint data through pre-built steps in the Flow Designer. By utilizing the module, users can create to add, delete, or download documents or lists from their SharePoint sites.
Adding a SharePoint Document Library
This example will demonstrate how to add a SharePoint Document Library in the Decisions platform.
- In the Decisions Studio, navigate to System > Integrations > SharePoint. Click ADD SHAREPOINT DOCUMENT LIBRARY.
- From the Edit Entity window, set the Category Name and List/Document Library Name.
- Under SharePoint Settings, select the Edit icon to configure the connection to SharePoint. Click OK.Proper SharePoint Integration requires the SharePoint Settings to be 100% accurate; these must match the details associated with the integrated document. Below is a list of settings that need to be defined:
Configuration Option Description Authentication Authentication to connect to SharePoint. SharePoint Site The SharePoint site URL, likely either "https://<domain_here>.sharepoint.com" or a self-hosted URL. If using SiteMinder, this is the SiteMinder URL. OAuth Token Token for connecting to SharePoint site. After saving the information, the Configuration Data and a Decisions Defined Data Structure is auto-generated in the SharePoint Folder. Additionally, users will now be able to access steps in the step catalog via Integrations > SharePoint.
