Connect a SharePoint site to pull its content in as a connected source, kept in sync as it changes.

Connect a SharePoint site

From the Sources tab, go to Connectors and add SharePoint. Select the files or folders you want to bring in. Clarifeye keeps them in sync from then on: changes made in SharePoint are reflected in the knowledge store automatically.

What gets synced

Alongside the file content, Clarifeye imports metadata for each document: its path, the folder it belongs to, and its created-at and modified-at timestamps. If a folder’s name matches the slug of a collection, files from that folder are placed into that collection automatically. New and updated files are picked up automatically. Deleting a document from the SharePoint folder doesn’t delete it from Clarifeye — remove it from the knowledge store directly if it no longer applies.

Connecting for a larger organization

In a larger organization, the simplest setup is to have a SharePoint admin be the one to connect Clarifeye. That single connection approves the application once, so the rest of your users don’t each need to approve it themselves. Once the connection is approved, the admin’s account and connection can be deleted; the approval persists.

Security

The connector authenticates to SharePoint as the connecting user, via OAuth 2.0, so it can only pull in what that user has permission to see in SharePoint.
Once a document is imported into a knowledge store, it’s visible to every member of that knowledge store, regardless of their individual SharePoint permissions. Access in Clarifeye is scoped by knowledge store membership, not by the original SharePoint permissions of each member.
