Microsoft Sharepoint O365 File Reader

[ | version 3.5]

Connector

The connector is permitted for use of the platform background agent.

Connector processing type: Row by row!

This connector allows to get files from Microsoft Sharepoint O365 through Graph API. More information in documentation.

Required Microsoft Graph API Application permissions

  • Files.Read.All
  • Sites.Read.All

Site and Drive

One of configuration options are Site and Drive.

Site can be just company sharepoint intelstudios.sharepoint.com but it can also contain sub sites. In web URL it can be behind sites path e.g. https://intelstudios.sharepoint.com/sites/DEV... which shows sub site name DEV. In this case Site configuration attribute will be specified as intelstudios.sharepoint.com/DEV of DEV if DEV sub site is needed.

Site have data unit/s named drive which is another part of URL behind site or sub site. Typical example is Documents but is a little tricky because in URL it is displayed as Shared%20Documents, e.g. intelstudios.sharepoint.com/sites/DEV/Shared%20Documents. Other drives have usually same name as in URL.

But when site or drive is specified incorrectly connector will print available names to error message which can help to configure it.

Example

Just for example how you can make input for this connector by JS Mapper connector as step before. In Directory attribute is path to file or files.

return
[
    {
        "Directory":'Data migration/Data sheets', 
        "Name": 'file.txt'
