Use the GoFormz-OneDrive connection to upload submitted PDFs to your existing OneDrive account.

Before you begin, verify that you have access to an OneDrive account. GoFormz recommends creating a 'GoFormz Connection' OneDrive account used only for this connection. This account will display as the user who completes any actions.

Note: You must re-authenticate this connection each time you change your OneDrive account password.

This connection gives GoFormz access to your OneDrive account to read and write files, but GoFormz will not have management access for any of your OneDrive settings.

You have two options for adding your connection: while setting up your Workflow recipe, or via the Connected Apps page.

While setting up your Workflow

If you want to add a connection while setting up your Workflow recipe, you’ll select a recipe in the Workflow Recipes Library. When choosing your action configuration details, click the Connection drop-down menu and select “+ Add Connection”.
