A SharePoint Folder for every existing CRM Account (SharePoint on Azure)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I would like a Sharepoint folder for every Account in CRM

*I already have server side integration 

Do I have to manually open each account to create a folder in SharePoint?

Thanks

Sergio

    Hi Sergio,

    You may set up the out-of-the box CRM SharePoint integration, as explained next, but in this case the folder in SharePoint will be only created when navigating to the Documents Locations in the Account:

    www.developer.com/.../creating-a-custom-repository-in-sharepoint-online-and-its-integration-with-dynamics-crm-online.html

    If you would like to create a SharePoint folder when an account is created then consider create a workflow on account creation and to create the folder on SharePoint you may follow this sample here:

    So you create a Workflow executing for the entity Account .

    Starts on Create  - Scope : Organization

    you add a step : Create Record - Document Location Entity and you fill in the information needed .

    you have a similar step in the article : image-pobjects.netdna-ssl.com/.../020413_1736_BulkCreatio8.png .

    If you did the integration , the you should have some SharePoint Sites records to use as Lookup Relative Url

    Hope it helps

    I think so, do you have any idea how to do it?

    I followed this guide but I believe it is for the Onpremise version

    Hi ,

    You can create a Workflow to create a folder location for the record when a new account is created .

    this way the folder will be created automatically .

    I think the folder creation is triggered when some one opens the account record - and navigates to the documents associated view for the first time.

    I think the folder creation is triggered when some one opens the account record(onload of account).
