Hi @Shafdev,

Does the integration need to run synchronously/real-time? Or can it be near real time?

If real-time is required, you could call an Azure Function from your plugin. The Azure Function can then create the document library using SharePoint CSOM library.

Here is an example of how to so. Ignore the flow part of the article since you'll be calling via a plugin instead.

Hi @Shafdev,

For asynchronous scenarios, Azure Logic Apps or Power Automate is often a good choice. You can use the Dataverse connector to trigger the flow based on an event, then use the SharePoint connector with the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint” action which calls the REST API.

The steps for using that action are described here.

Hi @Shafdev,

In my previous message, the assumption was that no plugin is required.

If you need complex logic, you could write a plugin and call out to an Azure Function.
