Article Summary

Integrate your OneDrive account with AutoRFP to automatically import and update documentation in your content library. Content syncs every 24 hours, ensuring your team always uses the most up-to-date documentation for bids and questionnaires without manual updates.


Estimated Time

5 minutes


Prerequisites

  • Administrator or Content Manager permissions in AutoRFP

  • Access to OneDrive account with appropriate permissions

  • Microsoft admin approval (may be required for some organizations)

  • Understanding of which OneDrive folders contain relevant content


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create OneDrive Connection

When importing content from OneDrive, you provide AutoRFP access to your OneDrive account. Each OneDrive account you add is a connection.

  1. Navigate to your AutoRFP dashboard and select Add Content.

  2. Select Import Documentation.

  3. Click Activate an Integration and select OneDrive. The integration will automatically appear if you've activated the integration in your Organizational Settings.

  4. Click Create Connection.


Step 2: Accept Permissions

You will be redirected to grant necessary permissions. AutoRFP requires two sets of permissions:

  1. Authentication Permission: To authenticate your account.

  2. OneDrive File Picker Permission: To access and select files from your OneDrive.

  3. Review the requested permissions.

  4. Click Accept or Approve for both permission sets.


Step 3: Choose Content to Import

  1. After accepting permissions, the OneDrive file picker opens.

  2. Navigate through your OneDrive folder structure.

  3. Select the files or folders you would like to sync.

  4. Click Select to confirm your selection.


Step 4: Navigate Back to AutoRFP

  1. You will be automatically redirected back to AutoRFP.

  2. Wait for import confirmation.

  3. You will see a green confirmation message when the import is successful.

  4. Click Continue to proceed.


Step 5: Configure Content Settings

  1. Review imported documents in your content library.

  2. Assign tags to organize imported content (optional).

  3. Documents are now available for use in projects.

IMPORTANT: Review your content library to confirm imported content has finished syncing before importing additional folders. Importing too many folders simultaneously may cause the import to fail.


πŸ’‘ Tips & Best Practices

  • Check with Microsoft admin if approval is required for your organization

  • Document which OneDrive folders contain relevant content for import

  • Review OneDrive folder structure before importing

  • Plan folder selection for easy management


βœ‹πŸΌ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not waiting for sync to complete before importing additional content

  • Not obtaining Microsoft admin approval when required - may prevent integration

  • Selecting too much content during initial import

  • Forgetting that imported content cannot have editable snippets - use manual import for editable content needs
