SharePoint create folder: automate it with Python
Blog post from CodeWords
Automating the creation of folder structures in SharePoint using Python can significantly streamline document management processes, which can otherwise be tedious and inconsistent when done manually for numerous projects or clients. Leveraging the Microsoft Graph API, users can programmatically manage SharePoint's file system to ensure consistent folder hierarchies across projects by using serverless endpoints from platforms like CodeWords. This involves setting up Azure Active Directory (AD) for authentication and appropriate API permissions such as Sites.ReadWrite.All or Files.ReadWrite.All. The process is akin to passing through airport security, requiring credentials, permissions, and the correct API endpoint. CodeWords workflows allow for automated folder creation triggered by events in project management tools or through scheduled jobs, ensuring that necessary structures are in place immediately as projects begin. The use of templates for folder hierarchies can further facilitate this automation, while considerations for API limitations and path restrictions ensure robust implementation.
