About Microsoft SharePoint Integration

The Paxform Microsoft SharePoint integration provides enterprise-level document management for form submissions, automatically uploading completed forms and attachments to SharePoint document libraries while respecting your organization’s information architecture, content types, and metadata requirements. This integration enables sophisticated workflow automation and compliance tracking that large organizations require.

This integration is critical for enterprises standardized on Microsoft 365 that need form data integrated into SharePoint’s robust content management system. Whether you’re managing contracts, compliance documentation, project files, or client records, the SharePoint integration ensures form submissions are properly categorized, searchable, and available through your organization’s existing SharePoint structure.

How it Works

  • Connect to SharePoint

Authenticate Paxform with your SharePoint environment using Microsoft OAuth. Select which SharePoint sites and document libraries Paxform can access for form integration.

  • Configure Document Libraries

Map forms to specific SharePoint document libraries. Define content types, required metadata fields, and folder structures that align with your information architecture.

  • Set Up Metadata Mapping

Map form fields to SharePoint columns and metadata properties. Ensure proper classification, searchability, and compliance tracking through accurate metadata population.

  • Automatic Upload & Workflow

When forms are submitted, Paxform uploads documents to SharePoint with complete metadata, triggers configured workflows, and maintains your organization’s document management standards.
