OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable AI, and Langchain workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint nodes

You can find OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint

A connection establishes a link between OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your OpenAI and Microsoft SharePoint workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from OpenAI to Microsoft SharePoint or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Create weekly AI WordPress posts with images from SharePoint topics

AI Article Publisher — Scheduled WordPress Post from Topic List

This workflow automatically generates and publishes a full-length, SEO-optimized WordPress article on a weekly schedule. Topics are sourced from a SharePoint list. The AI agent writes the article body with embedded inline images, generates a separate featured (hero) image, creates a WordPress draft, and sends a notification email when complete.

How it works
Schedule Trigger fires on a configurable schedule (default: every Monday at 10 AM)
Get Topics pulls unposted items from a SharePoint list where PostID is null
Fetch WP Categories retrieves all WordPress categories from your site
Format Categories + Match Categories AI selects the best-fit category IDs for the topic
Write Article (AI Agent + web search) writes a 1,500–2,500-word HTML article with 3–4 embedded inline images via the image tool
Strip Code Fences + Generate Title clean the output and produce an SEO-optimized title
Add Draft to WP creates the post as a draft in WordPress
Generate Feature Image + Upload Image → Attach Featured Media sets the hero image on the post
Update SharePoint PostID stamps the list item with the new WP Post ID to prevent re-processing
Build Notification Email + Send Notification delivers a formatted HTML email summary to your team

Setup
WordPress credential**: Create an Application Password in WP Admin → Users → Profile. Set the WordPress API credential in all WordPress nodes.
WordPress site URL**: Replace YOUR_WP_SITE_URL placeholder in HTTP Request nodes with your domain (e.g., https://yoursite.com).
SharePoint credential: Add a Microsoft SharePoint OAuth2 credential and select your SharePoint site and list in the Get Topics and Update SharePoint PostID nodes.
OpenAI credential
: Add your OpenAI API key. GPT-4.1 (or GPT-4o) is recommended for the article agent; GPT-4.1-mini for category matching and title generation.
Google Gemini credential: Required for the **Generate Feature Image node. Add a Google PaLM/Gemini API key.
Image sub-workflow: The **Generate and Upload Image tool calls a separate image-generation sub-workflow. Deploy that workflow first and update the workflow ID in the tool node.
Notification email: Replace YOUR_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL in the **Send Notification node with your email address.

Customization
Change status: 'draft' to 'publish' in Add Draft to WP to auto-publish articles.
Adjust the article tone and CTA in the Write Article system prompt to match your brand voice.
Swap the SharePoint list for a Google Sheet or Airtable by replacing the Get Topics and Update Record nodes.
