SharePoint Module

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 List

This example will demonstrate how to configure SharePoint and connect to a SharePoint list in Decisions. 

In this example, a custom List was created in SharePoint named Customer Contacts.

1. In the Decisions platform, navigate to a Project. Then press Create DataTypes/Intergration, select INTEGRATIONS. Then click ADD SHAREPOINT LIST.
2. From the Edit Entity window, set the Category Name and List/Document Library Name. A description can also be added.
3. 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

   If using Sharepoint Online, there are three additional options to configure:

   • User Agent -  String value of either ISV|CompanyName|AppName/Version (ISV Application) or NONISV|CompanyName|AppName/Version (Enterprise Application)
   • Retry Count - Number of calls to retry
   • Retry Delay (in seconds) - Time a retry will occur 

   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 toolbox via Integrations > SharePoint.

Sharepoint Add Document step

The Sharepoint Add Document step allows users to upload documents to SharePoint via Flow.

SharePoint Get Document Step

The SharePoint Get Document step allows users to obtain pre-existing documents from their site and access the information in a Flow.

SharePoint Delete Document Step

The SharePoint Delete Document step is used to delete a file from the SharePoint site using a Flow.
