Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft SharePoint Online and Tools
Microsoft SharePoint Online + Tools + Microsoft Teams: When a file is uploaded to SharePoint, the automation updates a key-value pair in Tools with the file information and then sends a message to a specific channel in Microsoft Teams to notify the team about the new document.
Tools + Microsoft SharePoint Online + Slack: When a task is completed (hypothetically indicated by a key-value storage update), the automation uploads related files from a predefined location to SharePoint and then notifies the team in Slack using a channel message to inform them of the upload.
