Power Pages - SharePoint Integration MetaData

Posted on by pternouth

Hi All

I have a client Power Pages site which is using SharePoint Integration for Document storage. I have been asked whether, on the Power Pages form, I can display which user(contact) it was that uploaded a document. All users are authenticated, so i have the contact details. What I can't figure out is:

- how can I pass the contact data to the SharePoint when a file is uploaded, such that it can be recorded as metadata against the file; and

- how to modify the in-form display of SharePoint files to display additional metadata information beyond the file name and the data modified.

Any thoughts or pointers would be most helpful

Thanks very much

Peter

pls try the following:

Since all users are authenticated, use Power Pages to capture the current user’s contact information (e.g., contact ID, name, or email) when they upload a document.

Create a Power Automate flow triggered when a new file is uploaded to the SharePoint library.

In the flow, use the Get File Metadata action to retrieve the document properties, and then use the Update File Properties action to add the contact’s information (captured in Power Pages) as metadata to the document.

You can store fields like UploaderContact or UploaderEmail in the SharePoint document library metadata, allowing you to record the uploader's identity.

Go to the SharePoint library where the documents are stored.

Modify the default view to display the custom metadata fields (e.g., UploaderContact) that you added for the uploader’s contact information. This will make the metadata visible in SharePoint.

fetch("https://yoursharepointsite/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/path/to/document')?$expand=ListItemAllFields")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
// Display uploader information
document.getElementById("uploaderName").innerText = data.ListItemAllFields.UploaderContact;
})
.catch(error => console.error('Error fetching metadata:', error));

Unfortunately no way to customize this in OOB SP integration. You can post an idea at ideas.powerpages.microsoft.com for a feature enhancement (or upvote it).
