Have you ever thought about integrating OneDrive and Slack to make your work smoother?
“I want to quickly grasp important files…”
“Creating a dedicated folder at the beginning of the month is a bit of a hassle…” Many people might feel this way.
Especially when sharing information with your team through files and folders, creating a message each time can be quite a task.

In fact, these issues might be resolved by integrating OneDrive and Slack data…!

<span class="mark-yellow">In this article, we introduce various automation methods, focusing on a convenient flow where a folder is created in OneDrive on a specific schedule and a notification is sent to Slack.</span>
Even without programming knowledge, you can easily set it up using Yoom!

By leveraging the integration of OneDrive and Slack, you might not only improve work efficiency but also prevent information sharing errors and delays in response.
We will explain in detail how to set it up easily, so please take a look for reference.

For those who want to try it out quickly

By using Yoom, you can easily integrate OneDrive and Slack without any code.

Yoom provides templates for integrating OneDrive and Slack in advance, so you can achieve integration immediately just by signing up, even without API knowledge.

What You Can Do by Integrating OneDrive and Slack

By integrating the APIs of OneDrive and Slack, you can automatically link OneDrive data to Slack!

For example, you can automatically perform data integration like the following without human intervention.

Create a folder in OneDrive on a specific schedule and notify Slack

This is recommended for those who find it difficult to manage documents and files. It may also make it easier to organize and tidy up files!

Notify on Slack when audio data is stored in OneDrive

If you can quickly grasp audio files such as meeting data, it might become easier to proceed with subsequent processes in line with the meeting content.

Let's Create a OneDrive and Slack Integration Flow!

Let's get started by creating a flow that integrates OneDrive and Slack!

This time, we'll use Yoom to proceed with the integration of OneDrive and Slack without any coding.
If you don't have a Yoom account yet, you can create one using the registration form here.

[What is Yoom]

This time, we will create a flow bot that creates a folder in OneDrive and sends a notification to Slack when a specified schedule is reached!

The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps:

  • Register OneDrive and Slack as My Apps
  • Copy the template
  • Set the trigger and action
  • Set the trigger to ON and complete the preparation for flow operation

Step 1: Register My Apps

First, let's register the "OneDrive" and "Slack" apps.

Click "Add" on the right from "My Apps" on the left.

For OneDrive App Registration

After clicking "Add," search for "OneDrive" from the app list.

*Microsoft365 (formerly Office365) has both personal and business plans (Microsoft365 Business). If you are not subscribed to a business plan, authentication may fail.

Let's log in to Microsoft.
Enter your account's email address and click "Next."

Enter your password and log in.

Slack App Registration

Search for "Slack" from the app list.
Refer to this article
to register your app.

Log in to the workspace you want to use.

Click "Allow."

If you are already logged in, the following screen will appear.
Click the "Allow" button at the bottom.

Once "OneDrive" and "Slack" appear in My Apps, registration is complete!

Step 2: Copy Template

Now, let's actually create a flow bot!

Click the banner below "Try it out" to copy the template.

Step 3: Set Schedule Trigger

First, set up the schedule trigger.
Click "When the specified schedule is reached."

Set the execution time.
Here, you will set the trigger to activate at the specified schedule.

The "Title" can generally remain as is.
If you want to change it, feel free to enter other text.

"Schedule Settings" can be chosen from "Specify Dates," "Specify Days of the Week," or "Advanced (Cron)."

"Specify Dates" allow you to set the date and time.
"Specify Days of the Week" allows you to specify the day and time.
"Advanced (Cron)" allow you to set activation at intervals of a few minutes.

This time, let's specify using "Specify Dates."
Set the "Days" and "Hours" you want the trigger to activate.

Save and proceed to the next step!

Step 4: Set Up Folder Creation

Next, integrate with the OneDrive app.

Click "Create Folder."

When the following screen appears, check the account to be linked and proceed.

Next is the API connection settings.

First, set the "Drive ID."

Select from the options.
Set the OneDrive drive where you want to create the folder.

Also select the "Parent Folder Item ID" from the options.

Enter the "Parent Folder Name" and "Folder Name."
Check the input field notes while entering.

Click "Test" to perform the test.
If the test is successful, save it.

You can also quote the values from the retieved data!

Step 5: Set Up Sending Messages to Slack Channel

Next, set up notifications to Slack.

Click "Send Message to Channel."

When the following screen appears, check the account information and proceed.

Next is the API connection settings.

Select the "Destination Channel ID" from the options.

Notifications will be sent to the channel specified here.
It might be a good idea to create a channel for notifications!

For "Message," refer to the following configuration example.

Select "Folder URL" from the retrieved value.

Select an item in "This Month" from the "Date".

Click "Test" to perform the test.
If the test is successful, save it.

If the notification is delivered to the specified Slack channel, it's OK!

Step 6: Confirm Flow Bot Automation

When the following screen appears, click "Trigger ON."

All settings are complete!
