How to Upload Documents from Business Central to SharePoint — and then to Azure Portal

(6) Share

Posted on by CU10010923-0

Hey everyone 👋

I’m currently working on a document integration process in Dynamics 365 Business Central, and I’d love some guidance or best practices from the community.

Scenario:

I need to upload documents (like invoices, receipts, item images, etc.) from Business Central to SharePoint directly through AL code or available connectors.
Once the documents are in SharePoint, I want to upload or sync those files automatically to Azure (Blob Storage / Azure Portal) for long-term storage or external access.

What’s the recommended way to integrate SharePoint document upload in Business Central? (REST API, Power Automate, or AL code using HttpClient?)
How can I automate the next step — moving or syncing uploaded SharePoint files to Azure Blob Storage?
Are there any ready-to-use examples or standard BC extensions for this integration

If anyone has implemented a SharePoint → Azure document pipeline from Business Central, please share your approach or sample code.

Thanks in advance!

I will answer the first half of the question. I have tested the integration of Sharepoint before. Hope the following helps. I personally recommend using the Graph API integration, which is more efficient than Power Automate and doesn't require a Power Automate license.

Hello,

To get files from Business Central to SharePoint, use the Microsoft Graph API. You first need to register the app in Azure for permissions, then use AL code with HttpClient to perform the upload.

Once the files are in SharePoint, you can automatically sync them to Azure Blob Storage using a Power Automate flow. Just set up a flow that triggers "When a file is created" in SharePoint, followed by the "Create blob" action in Azure.

Regards,
Oussama

Hi,

If there is no modification in the files/documents, you can create direct connections from Business Central to both SharePoint and Azure Blob Storage without needing to pass files through multiple hops.

Following a path like BC → SharePoint → Azure Blob adds unnecessary complexity and maintenance overhead. Instead, I’d recommend building two direct integrations:

BC → SharePoint

BC → Azure Blob Storage

Hope this helps,

Namaste @CU10010923-0

There are two options

1) Power Automate flow - Low code , sharepoint , Azure Blob integration is out-of -box . Easy to manage .

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/sharepoint-overview

2) MS Graph API - if more concrete then you can use below links and customize
