Connecting your Dashpivot workspace to SharePoint using Flowsite, our no-code integration system, makes it easy to keep your project documents organised and up to date. Forms, reports, and photos captured in the field can be automatically synced to your SharePoint folders, so your team always has access to the latest information without needing to upload files manually.

Note: Only workflow templates are supported for SharePoint integrations at this stage

Information required to set up your flows:

  1. Template IDs in Dashpivot - found in the URL when viewing the template (between /apps/ and /forms/). Use the Org-level ID for all projects, or the Project-level ID to limit it to one project

  2. Trigger column - the column in each workflow that should trigger the export to SharePoint

  3. SharePoint folder destinations - the specific folders where each form type should be saved

To set up your SharePoint flow, follow these steps:

1. Access your Flowsite workspace

2. In the 'Connections' tab, ensure you have connections with both Dashpivot & SharePoint. You will need to have access to SharePoint to set this up

3. Access the 'Flows' tab

4. Select the green ‘Add Flow’ button in the top right corner of the screen

5. Select the ‘Save PDF Copy’ option at the bottom left, which should have the SharePoint icon

6. From there, you can set up the flow - you will need to enter the template ID and select the workflow column that will trigger the export. Then click ‘Next'

7. At the ‘Download form’ stage, just select ‘Next’ - currently ‘Download Form as PDF’ is the only option available

8. At the ‘Upload file’ stage, you’ll need to select:

  • The relevant SharePoint connection

  • The Site Name, which is the relevant SharePoint ‘space’

  • The Document Library, which is the SharePoint drive where the relevant folder(s) is located

  • The Folder, which is the SharePoint folder where the forms need to be transferred

    • You can directly navigate your SharePoint folders using the blue ‘Select folder’ button. Note: multiple folders can be selected

9. Under 'Editing existing forms', you can set the expected behavior to handle new versions of existing forms:

  • Create New: This means a new copy of the form is created in the SharePoint folder(s)

  • Overwrite: This will overwrite the existing form, with the new updated version

10. Click ‘Done’ when ready

11. Select the green ‘Save’ button in the top right corner to finalise the flow creation

12. Repeat for any other templates
