Microsoft SharePoint connection

To access your lists in Microsoft SharePoint, create a connection asset for it.

Microsoft SharePoint is a web-based collaborative platform, developed by Microsoft, that facilitates document management, content sharing, and team collaboration.

Enabling Microsoft SharePoint on Cloud

This connection is only available through the Toronto data center and is only available for a managed cloud service provider (MCSP).

If you have created a platform assets catalog, the Microsoft SharePoint connector should automatically appear in the list of available connectors.

For more information on creating the platform assets catalog, see Creating the Platform assets catalog.
