Connect to on-prem SharePoint using WebID

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

So I have an On-Prem SharePoint contract management app  that has a bunch of custom webparts that talk to a custom back-end On-Prem  SQL database.  Its runs on SharePoint 2016. The app creates a new  subsiite for each contract whenever the user creates a new contract. The subsite has a Document library where users can store documents related to the contract.  The app stores the WebID of the subsite in the custom back-end database, along with all the metadata associated with the contract. The SharePint app is a sibgle Site Collection with a subweb for each contrct.

 

I have PowerApp that connects to custom back-end database using the On-Prem gateway.  It can read all the all the metadata associated with the contract, including the WebID.

 

I need the PowerApp to fetch and display documents from the On-Prem SharePoint site with the given ID. I could connect directly to the SharePoint Content Database from the PowerApp and get the data that way, but I know this is not supported.

 

Is there a way to dynamically connect a PowerApp to a site using a WebID? Can I somehow configure a flow to call into my On-Prem sharepoint farn to get the documents?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I'm afraid that you cannot dynamically connect a PowerApp to a site using a WebID. Exact list need to be connected with PowerApps. You cannot change the list dynamically.
