Connecting SharePoint and OneDrive

The OneDrive / SharePoint connector indexes documents - policies, procedures, reports, contracts - so Chat can answer questions from them and cite the source. It reads a drive: a personal OneDrive or a SharePoint document library.

You need the admin role in Sprint Satellite and a Microsoft 365 login that can see the drive.

Before you start

The integration itself has to be set up first: the Sprint Digital developers register Sprint Satellite with Microsoft (OneDrive / SharePoint) for your organisation as part of onboarding. Once that is in place, connecting is the steps below - if the Microsoft (OneDrive / SharePoint) option is missing from the gallery or the sign-in step errors, that setup has not been done yet, so contact Sprint Digital.

Step 1 - start the connection

1. Go to Settings → Connectors and click New connector.
2. Choose OneDrive / SharePoint.

Step 2 - sign in to Microsoft

Your browser goes to Microsoft’s own login page. Sign in with your work account. Sprint Satellite never sees these details - you are signing in to Microsoft directly.

Step 3 - accept the permissions

Microsoft lists what Sprint Satellite will be able to do - read files and site information. Click Accept.

Admin consent

Some organisations require a Microsoft 365 administrator to approve new apps. If you see “Need admin approval”, ask your IT admin to grant consent, then repeat from Step 1.

Step 4 - choose the drive

Back in Sprint Satellite, pick which drive to index:

• My OneDrive - your personal files, or
• a SharePoint site and one of its document libraries.

Choose one and confirm. To index several libraries, add the connector again for each.

Step 5 - first index

The connector shows Syncing while documents are read, then Connected. Open it to see how many files were indexed.

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and text files are indexed. New and changed files are picked up on each sync.

Try it

In Chat, ask “What does our leave policy say about carrying over annual leave?” - the answer cites the document it came from. To make the AI treat a library a particular way (for example “always quote the clause number”), add instructions for that data source under Settings → Instructions.
