Sharepoint Input Tool Behind the Scenes

Dennisklad1

Hi,

 

I am trying to connect to my organisations sharepoint to download files that are not lists. The Sharepoint List Input tool works with version "App Only Authentication" and then with my client id and secret.

Is there a way to look under the hood and create a custom tool that shares the input of the list tool but one that I can then adapt to my needs.

 

Thanks

Hi @Dennisklad1 

 

Sync the SharePoint folder to your desktop, and then you will be able to pull files directly into your Alteryx workflows. I have several workflows built this way, where an RPA is pulling and saving a file to our SharePoint. The workflow finds the newest file created and pulls it into the workflow. 

 

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know!

 

Thanks!

Phil
