How can I connect my SharePoint account to Seenspire?
As an Account Owner or Manager, you can add a new source connection to your Seenspire account.
To connect your SharePoint account to Seenspire, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Navigate to Source Connections
Click on your Account Name in the upper right-hand corner, then select Connections.
Step 2: Click on Add Connection
Click Add Connection and select SharePoint from the dropdown list and follow the authentication process.
To connect your SharePoint account to Seenspire, you need to have a “Global Administrator” role associated with your user in Office 365. Once connected, any other SharePoint user will be able to connect, as the Seenspire app has been approved within the main Office 365 account.
If you are unable to get the "Global Administrator" role, you can also ask the Office 365 administrator to approve the Seenspire connection using this link.
It is important to check the "Consent on behalf of your organization" box to allow other users in your organization to connect their SharePoint account to Seenspire without having to get permission from the global administrator each time.
Permissions allow Seenspire to access SharePoint's data. When you grant these permissions, Seenspire has access to the following information:
Microsoft email & name (during the authentication process) | This information is required for the authentication process. |
A list of your SharePoint Sites (during the feed creation process - Site ID) | This information is needed to select the correct site a user wants to pull content from. |
SharePoint members' names (author name & ID) | This information is needed to display the name of the author of the post. |
Post timestamp | This information is needed to show when the post was shared. |
Text, Images, and Videos | This information is needed to display the content of the post. |
After you have successfully connected your SharePoint account to Seenspire, you can see the new source under Connections.
You can create as many feeds as you want using this content source without being prompted to authenticate each time.
Step 3: Create a Connections Feed
Navigate to Connections and select SharePoint, then Create Feed. If you need more information on creating a Workplace feed, you can read more here.
