Connecting SharePoint with Uku

TL;DR: To connect SharePoint with Uku, register an application in Microsoft Azure Active Directory to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret, then enter those values along with your SharePoint Site URL into Uku's integration settings.

Who can do this

  • You need administrator permissions in your Uku account to configure integrations.

  • You need access to the Microsoft Azure portal with permissions to register applications in Azure Active Directory.

Values needed for the SharePoint connection

The integration requires three values:

  • Site URL: Your SharePoint site web address, for example: https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/name

  • Client ID: The Application (client) ID from an application registered in Azure Active Directory.

  • Client Secret: A secret value generated for that application in Azure Active Directory.

How to create the required values in Azure

  1. Go to the Microsoft Azure portal and log in with your work account.

  2. Navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations.

  3. Click New registration.

  4. Enter an application name and complete the registration.

  5. On the application overview page, find and copy the Application (client) ID — this is your Client ID.

  6. Navigate to Certificates & secrets in the application menu.

  7. Click New client secret, then copy the generated value — this is your Client Secret.

  8. Navigate to API permissions and add the Sites.Read.All permission so the application can access SharePoint.

Important: Copy the Client Secret immediately after generating it. Azure will not display it again once you navigate away.

How to enter the values in Uku

  1. Open Settings in Uku.

  2. Navigate to the SharePoint integration section.

  3. Enter the following values:

    • Page URL / Site URL: Your SharePoint site web address

    • Client ID: The Application (client) ID from Azure AD

    • Client Secret: The secret value generated in Azure AD

  4. Click CONNECT.

Troubleshooting

  • Cannot find App registrations in Azure: You may not have sufficient permissions in your organization's Azure Active Directory. Contact your company's IT support for access.

  • Connection fails after entering all values: Verify that the Sites.Read.All permission has been granted and that an administrator has approved the permission. Also confirm the Site URL is correct and includes the full path (e.g., https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/name).

  • Client Secret is no longer visible in Azure: Azure only displays the Client Secret once, immediately after creation. If you lost it, generate a new Client Secret under Certificates & secrets and update the value in Uku.

  • Need more help: Contact Uku customer support or write in the help center for assistance.
