Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Motion, Microsoft SharePoint Online, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy."

Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Motion and Microsoft SharePoint Online integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion 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 Motion and Microsoft SharePoint Online
Motion + Microsoft SharePoint Online + Slack: When a task's status changes in Motion (e.g., is delayed), a status report is automatically uploaded to a designated folder in SharePoint. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel alerting the team about the delay and providing a link to the updated report.
Microsoft SharePoint Online + Motion + Microsoft Teams: When a new file is uploaded to a specific SharePoint folder, a related task is created in Motion to review the document. A notification, including a link to the Motion task, is sent to the relevant Microsoft Teams channel to alert the team.
