Connecting your organization’s Microsoft SharePoint libraries to le Chat is straightforward and enables advanced search features along with AI-powered interactions with your SharePoint content.
The process could be divided into two parts:
First, an Organization Administrator with the necessary permissions must authorize access to Microsoft SharePoint and initiate the content indexing process.
Second, once indexing is complete, individual users can connect to Microsoft SharePoint using their own Microsoft 365 accounts.
🔑 This guide explains how to connect your account to Microsoft SharePoint as a user. If you are an Administrator who needs to set up and index Microsoft SharePoint for your organization, please refer to the Microsoft SharePoint Connector Admin Guide.
Authorize access to your Microsoft SharePoint

Within le Chat interface, if not already open, click the toggle panel button (1) then click Connectors (2).
Click Connectors
2. Click the SharePoint Connector card

🔑 Your privacy is important. Clicking the Privacy button provides details on how your data is managed when using Connectors. We prioritize secure handling and transparency.
4. Complete Microsoft’s connection process
You will be redirected to Microsoft’s authentication flow. Sign in with your Microsoft 365 administrator credentials and grant the requested permissions for Mistral AI to access your SharePoint data. This step typically involves tenant-wide consent.
Upon successful authorization via Microsoft, you will be returned to the Connectors page on our platform. While the SharePoint card might indicate a connection, indexing its content by an Admnisitrator is a necessary subsequent step to make the data usable by le Chat.
