The frevvo SharePoint Connector and wizard, make it easy to create forms and approval workflows that validate information, route for signatures as required and save the data and documents to a secure SharePoint website. The Connector was designed to integrate with Office 365 SharePoint Online.

All customers need a valid Office 365 SharePoint account.

Submissions can contain multiple files of different types - Invoice, Receipt, PO etc. You may want to save these files in different locations on your SharePoint site.

The SharePoint Connector wizard, allows you to:

  1. Save the form/flow data and metadata to a SharePoint destination. The destination could be a folder in a document library and/or a list item.
  2. Designers select the SharePoint destination from a dropdown
  3. Map form/flow control values to the SharePoint columns.
  4. Configure two destinations for your data.

The SharePoint wizard guides you through connecting your forms/flows to SharePoint.
