Is there a solution to add a SharePoint file via api now? If so, please share. :-)

Hey Alexander Stendel 🙋🏻‍♀️ Here's what our support team mentioned:

"The Wrike API currently does not support directly attaching files from cloud storage platforms such as SharePoint or OneDrive. At this time, it isn’t possible to create native SharePoint or OneDrive attachments via the API in the same way that you can through the Wrike user interface.
The file would need to be publicly accessible, which unfortunately doesn’t typically apply to files stored in SharePoint or OneDrive."

If you could share your particular use case, I’ll make sure to forward your feedback to our team for consideration in future enhancements. 😊

Hello.
We have a SharePoint folder where we store incoming papers as PDF files, and we want to use a Microsoft 365 Flow (Power Automate) automation to create a task for each document saved in that folder, with the document attached as a SharePoint link.

Looks like it is possible

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepoint/#get-file-properties
PowerAutomate sharepoint connector enable us to get the file's properties, which the URL that link to the file can be retrieved in the response.

https://developers.wrike.com/api/v4/attachments/#create-wrike-attachment
Wrike API enable the creation of attachment to task, by specifying type = SharePoint.

Haven't try it personally though.

Actually, I tried that as well. The API documentation lists type = sharepoint, but as far as I can tell, it hasn’t been implemented yet. It seems the documentation reflects a possible future feature of the API. :-)
