LILT + Sharepoint connector enables companies to automatically push and pull content between Sharepoint and LILT. This saves you time by providing seamless localization while letting you continue to work in the systems you know.

​
Overview

The SharePoint LILT connector is an integration tool designed to streamline the content translation process between SharePoint and LILT. This connector inherits its core functionalities from the base FileSystem connector, making it consistent with other filesystem-based connectors such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and git. Additionally, it supports WebDAV connections, offering flexibility in terms of API usage and authentication methods.

Setup Summary

Setting up the SharePoint LILT connector involves several critical steps:
  1. SharePoint Add-In Creation: The customer must create a SharePoint Add-In within their SharePoint instance to facilitate secure interactions.
  2. Credential Sharing: The customer provides LILT with the Client ID, Tenant ID, and Client Secret of the Add-In.
  3. Connector Configuration: These credentials are then used to configure the connector along with other workflow-specific settings.
