Microsoft SharePoint and Zapier connect to automate your work. You can trigger actions when new files or list items are added and create folders, upload files, or manage lists.
NoteThe Microsoft SharePoint app on Zapier now uses the Microsoft Graph API. If you're migrating from an earlier version (v4), learn about updates to the Microsoft SharePoint app (Microsoft Graph API).

Limitations
- API throttling limits apply. SharePoint Online uses throttling to maintain optimal performance, limiting the number of API calls within time windows. Applications may receive HTTP 429 or 503 responses when limits are exceeded.
- The Upload File action supports a maximum file size of 100 MB. Files up to 10 MB upload in a single request; files between 10 MB and 100 MB upload in chunks.
- The Create List Item and Update List Item actions do not support writing to URL/Hyperlink, Person/Group, or Managed Metadata column types (Graph API limitation). You can read these column types in triggers and searches, but not write to them.
- The Find List Item search uses exact matching only. Partial or "contains" searches are not supported. Multiple search fields are combined with "and" (all must match).
- The New File in Folder and New or Updated File triggers only watch direct children of the selected folder. They do not look inside subfolders.
- File triggers return a maximum of 100 files per poll. If more than 100 files are added or updated between polls, files beyond the 100th will not trigger.
- The Copy File or Folder action requires read access to all items being copied. If any file or subfolder has restricted access, the entire copy fails.
- The Move or Rename Item action only works within the same document library. You cannot move items to a different document library or site.
