I want to get data from the Sharepoint file using Sharepoint input tool In Alteryx

Question

I want to get data from the Sharepoint file using the Sharepoint input tool In Alteryx and I need to schedule that workflow as well. When I try to access the Sharepoint data using the Sharepoint input tool in Alteryx I get an error like Drive ID cannot be empty. I'm going with the SharePoint setup connection option from the configuration window. What type of credentials do I need to enter? Please let me know if there is any alternative way to get the data from SharePoint files using the URL. Any suggestions?

Hi @sivareddyudumula ,

Thought to explore the possibility of alternatives as you mentioned. There's a similar query where the user sets up Sharepoint such that it syncs to a OneDrive Folder. This then allows the option of reading in that data using the standard Data Input tool rather than the Sharepoint tool.

Another option would be by derangedvisions in the thread here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Server-Discussions/Scheduler-amp-Sharepoint/td-p/86274

Hope this helps!
