Intro

Microsoft OneDrive is an online file sharing and personal cloud content management service for businesses. Use this connector to export your data from a Domo DataSet to a specified OneDrive folder. For more information about the OneDrive API, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib.../dn659752.aspx.

You export data to OneDrive in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Microsoft OneDrive Writeback connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To configure this connector, you need the following:

  • An installed Microsoft Azure app.
  • The client ID and client secret associated with your Domo Developer account.
  • The Secret ID and Value associated with your Microsoft Azure app.

To obtain your Secret (client) ID: 

1. Go to https://portal.azure.com.

Configuring the Connection

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Microsoft OneDrive Writeback Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Domo developer account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:  

Field

Description

OneDrive App Client ID

Enter the client ID associated with your registered OneDrive app.

OneDrive App Client Secret

Enter the client secret associated with your registered OneDrive app.

Domo Client ID

Enter your client ID associated with your Domo Developer account. 

Domo Client Secret

 Enter your client secret associated with your Domo Developer account.

Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to set up a new Domo-OneDrive connection. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a number of fields for specifying your data and indicating where it's going.

Menu

Description

Input DataSet ID

Enter the DataSet ID (GUID) for the DataSet you want to copy to a OneDrive folder or workspace. You can find the ID by opening the details view for the DataSet in the Data Center and looking at the portion of the URL following datasources/. 

For example, in the URL https://mycompany.domo.com/datasources/845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4/details/overview, the DataSet ID is 845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4. 

Enter Folder Path

Enter complete folder path (not case-sensitive) in which you want to writeback data. If you leave this blank, data will be written back into the root folder.

Example: Test/Test1/Test2/ will writeback data into Test2 folder in onedrive. 

Select Filename

Select how you want to choose the file where data will be copied. 

  • Use Input DataSet GUID. The filename will be the number you entered for Domo DataSet ID.

  • Use Input DataSet Name. The filename will be the same as that of the input DataSet.

  • Enter File Name. You will give the file a custom name in the File Name field.

Filename

Enter output file name.

If you wish to add current date to the file name please use the macro <current_date> or <current_date-1>. Example: If fileName is domo_current_date. Output file generated in Onedrive would be domo_(todays date in format yyyy-MM-dd) like domo_2019-07-16.

Select File Encoding

 Select the encoding with which the file is to be written back to Onedrive. If no encoding is selected, the file is written back in UTF-8 encoding.
