How to connect Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SharePoint Online
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SharePoint Online
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Microsoft SQL Server, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SharePoint Online will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft SharePoint Online, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Microsoft SQL Server Node
Select the Microsoft SQL Server node from the app selection panel on the right.

Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SharePoint Online Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint Online, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SharePoint Online integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SharePoint Online (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SharePoint Online
Microsoft SQL Server + Microsoft SharePoint Online + Microsoft Teams: When a new or updated row is added to a Microsoft SQL Server database, the information is uploaded as a file to a specified folder in Microsoft SharePoint Online, and a message is sent to a Microsoft Teams channel notifying the team of the new database entry.
Microsoft SharePoint Online + Microsoft SQL Server + Microsoft Outlook: When a new message is created in Microsoft SharePoint Online, relevant data is selected from Microsoft SQL Server using a query and a daily summary email, including the selected data, is sent via Microsoft Outlook.
