OneDrive

These are the OneDrive actions available to the apps you build with Snow. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

• Check In Drive Item

  Tool to check in a checked out driveItem resource, making the version of the document available to others. Use when you need to check in a file that was previously checked out in OneDrive or SharePoint.

• Checkout Drive Item

  Tool to check out a driveItem to prevent others from editing it and make your changes invisible until checked in. Use when you need to lock a file for exclusive editing in SharePoint or OneDrive.

• Copy Item

  Tool to copy a DriveItem (file or folder) to a new location asynchronously. Use when you need to duplicate an item, optionally renaming it or specifying a different parent folder. The operation is asynchronous; the response provides a URL to monitor the copy progress. Do not assume the copy is complete immediately; verify via ONE_DRIVE_GET_ITEM or by listing the destination, especially for large folder trees.

• Create Drive Item Permission

  Tool to create a new permission on a OneDrive drive item. Use when you need to grant application or SharePoint group permissions to a file or folder. This endpoint supports creating application permissions and SharePoint site group permissions only.

• Create Sharing Link

  Tool to create a sharing link for a DriveItem (file or folder) by its unique ID. Use when you need to generate a shareable link for an item in OneDrive or SharePoint.

• Delete Drive Following

  Tool to unfollow a driveItem by removing it from the user's followed items collection. Use when you need to stop following a file or folder that was previously marked to follow.

• Delete Drive Item Permission

  Tool to delete a permission from a drive item. Use when you need to revoke sharing access to a file or folder. Only non-inherited sharing permissions can be deleted.

• Delete Item

  Tool to delete a DriveItem (file or folder) by its unique ID from the authenticated user's OneDrive. Use when you need to remove an item from OneDrive. This action moves the item to the recycle bin, not permanently deleting it; storage quota is not freed until the recycle bin is emptied. Bulk deletions can trigger 429 (rate limit) or 5xx responses — limit concurrency and use exponential backoff.

• Delete Shares Permission

  Tool to delete the permission navigation property for a shared drive item. Use when you need to remove a sharing link permission. This effectively revokes access via the specific share link.

• Discard Checkout

  Tool to discard the checkout of a driveItem, releasing it and discarding any changes made while checked out. Use when you need to cancel a checkout and revert changes on a file in SharePoint or OneDrive.

• Get Drive

  Retrieves the properties and relationships of a Drive resource by its unique ID. Use this action when you need to get details about a specific OneDrive, user's OneDrive, group's document library, or a site's document library. Only drives accessible to the authenticated user are returned; missing drives indicate insufficient OAuth scope or tenant permissions.

• Get Drive Root Folder

  Tool to retrieve metadata for the root folder of the signed-in user's OneDrive. Use when you need information about the user's OneDrive root directory, such as size, child count, or web URL.

• Get DriveItem by Sharing URL

  Tool to resolve a OneDrive/SharePoint sharing URL (or shareId) to a DriveItem with driveId and itemId. Use when you have a sharing link from Teams, chat, or 1drv.ms and need the item's metadata or IDs for downstream actions like permissions or download.

• Get Drives Following

  Tool to retrieve a specific followed driveItem from a drive. Use when you need to get details about a file or folder that the user has marked to follow.

• Get Group Drive

  Tool to retrieve the document library (drive) for a Microsoft 365 group. Use when you need to access the default document library associated with a specific group.

• Get Item Metadata

  Retrieves the metadata of a DriveItem by its unique ID. Use this tool to get information about a specific file or folder in OneDrive when you have its ID. If a `drive_id` is not provided, it defaults to the user's main drive.

• Get Item Permissions

  Retrieves the permissions of a DriveItem by its unique ID within a specific Drive. Use when you need to check who has access to a file or folder and what level of access they have. Response nests permission entries under `data.value`; check top-level `success`/`error` flags before processing results. Results include inherited permissions, owner entries, and anonymous link entries — not just explicitly granted permissions. Sharing links may have differing scopes (org-only vs. anonymous); verify `link.scope` before treating a permission as externally accessible.

• Get Item Thumbnails

  Tool to retrieve the thumbnails associated with a DriveItem. Use when you need to display visual previews of files. Response contains a `value` array with size keys (`small`, `medium`, `large`); thumbnails may not be generated for all file types or newly uploaded items, so handle an empty or missing `value` array. Returned thumbnail URLs are external HTTP endpoints with independent availability.

• Get Item Versions

  Tool to retrieve the version history of a DriveItem by its unique ID. Use when you need to access or list previous versions of a file. Version history may be unavailable or empty for folders or items in drives without versioning enabled.

• Get Recent Items

  Get files and folders recently accessed by the user. Returns items based on activity history (opened, edited, viewed), sorted by most recent first — NOT by modification time; use ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_LIST_ITEMS or ONE_DRIVE_LIST_ROOT_DRIVE_CHANGES for strictly modification-based queries. Use when you need to see what the user worked on recently (e.g., 'Show me files I worked on today'). Different from search - this tracks activity, not content. Results may contain duplicate names; disambiguate using lastModifiedDateTime, parentReference.path, and the file/folder property before acting on a specific item.

• Get Shared Items

  Tool to retrieve items shared with the authenticated user (not items the user has shared with others). Returns files and folders shared with the current user; response value array may be empty if no items exist. Use webUrl field from results for clickable links to items.

• Get SharePoint List Items

  Tool to get the items (list items) within a specific SharePoint list on a site. Use when you need to retrieve data from a SharePoint list.

• Get SharePoint Site Page Content

  Gets the content of a modern SharePoint site page. Use when you need to retrieve the details and content of a specific page within a SharePoint site.

• Get Site Details

  Retrieves metadata for a specific SharePoint site by its ID. Use this action when you need to get details like display name, web URL, and creation/modification dates for a known SharePoint site.

• Get User Profile

  Retrieves the properties and profile information for a specific Microsoft user by their user ID or user principal name. Use this action when you need to get detailed information about a user's profile, including their contact details, job information, and account status. This action requires the User.Read or User.ReadBasic.All OAuth scope to access user profile data.

• Grant Shares Permission

  Tool to grant users access to a link represented by a permission using an encoded sharing URL. Use when you need to give specific users access to a shared OneDrive or SharePoint resource.

• Invite User to Drive Item

  Tool to invite users or grant permissions to a specific item in a OneDrive drive. Use when you need to share a file or folder with other users and define their access level (e.g., read or write).

• List Drive Activities

  Tool to retrieve recent activities on the authenticated user's OneDrive. Use when you need to track recent changes or actions performed across the drive.

• List Drive Item Activities

  Tool to list recent activities for a specific item in a OneDrive drive. Use when you need to track changes or actions performed on a file or folder.

• List Drives

  Tool to retrieve a list of Drive resources available to the authenticated user, or for a specific user, group, or site. Use when you need to find out what drives are accessible. Returns only drives within the signed-in account's permission scope; missing drives indicate insufficient permissions or different tenant scope. Results are paginated — follow skip_token across all pages to avoid missing drives. Returned drives represent document libraries and may not reflect full SharePoint site structure; use SHARE_POINT_GET_SITE_COLLECTION_INFO or SHARE_POINT_SEARCH_QUERY for broader coverage. Use driveType and webUrl to distinguish personal, system, and SharePoint-backed drives.

• List Root Drive Changes

  Tool to list changes in the root of the user's primary drive using a delta token. Use when you need to track file and folder modifications, additions, or deletions in the main OneDrive directory. First call without `token` returns all current items plus an `@odata.deltaLink`; store that token and pass it on subsequent calls to retrieve only incremental changes. Losing the deltaLink token forces a full resync. Responses include deleted items (check `deleted` property) and the root item itself alongside files and folders.

• List SharePoint List Items Delta

  Tool to track changes to items in a SharePoint list using a delta query. Use when you need to get newly created, updated, or deleted list items without performing a full read of the entire item collection.

• List Site Columns

  Tool to list all column definitions for a SharePoint site. Use this when you need to retrieve the schema or structure of columns within a specific SharePoint site.

• List Site Drive Items Delta

  Tool to track changes to DriveItems in the default document library of a SharePoint site. Use when you need to get a list of items that have been added, modified, or deleted since a previous state or to get an initial enumeration of all items.

• List Site Lists

  Tool to list all lists under a specific SharePoint site. Use when you need to enumerate lists within a known site. Returns only Microsoft Graph-supported lists — internal/system lists are excluded, so results may be a strict subset of all site lists (e.g., 13 returned where 108 exist). Results are in the `data.value` array. IMPORTANT: Only works with organizational Microsoft 365 accounts (Azure AD/Entra ID). NOT supported for personal Microsoft accounts (MSA/Outlook.com/Hotmail). Personal OneDrive users cannot access SharePoint sites through this endpoint.

• List Site Subsites

  Tool to list all subsites of a SharePoint site. Use when you need to retrieve a collection of subsites for a given parent site. IMPORTANT: This action only works with organizational Microsoft 365 accounts (Azure AD/Entra ID accounts). It is NOT supported for personal Microsoft accounts (MSA/Outlook.com/Hotmail accounts). Personal OneDrive users cannot access SharePoint sites through this endpoint. An empty `value` array in the response means the site has no subsites, not a failure.

• List Subscriptions

  Tool to list the current subscriptions for the authenticated user or app. Use this to retrieve details of existing webhook subscriptions. Results may span multiple drives and resources; filter client-side by resource URL or type to narrow to a specific scope. An empty `value` array means no subscriptions exist, not a failed call.

• List Workbook Worksheets

  Retrieves a list of all worksheets in an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive or SharePoint. Returns worksheet metadata including IDs, names, positions, and visibility states. Use this action when you need to enumerate available worksheets in a workbook, find a specific worksheet by name, or understand the workbook structure before performing operations on worksheet data.

• Move Item

  Tool to move a file or folder to a new parent folder in OneDrive. Use when you need to reorganize your files or folders by changing their location. You can optionally rename the item during the move. If a file with the same name exists at the destination, the API returns `nameAlreadyExists`; use the `name` parameter to provide a unique name or resolve the conflict beforehand.

• Permanently Delete Drive Item

  Tool to permanently delete a driveItem by its ID without moving it to the recycle bin. Use when you need to irreversibly remove a file or folder from OneDrive or SharePoint. This action cannot be undone.

• Preview Drive Item

  Generates or retrieves a short-lived, permission-bound embeddable URL for a preview of a specific item. URLs expire and must be regenerated per session — do not cache. Use when you need to display a temporary preview of a file.

• Read Workbook Range

  Reads a range of cells from an Excel workbook worksheet stored in OneDrive or SharePoint using Microsoft Graph API. Returns cell values, formulas, formatting, and metadata for the specified range. Use this action when you need to extract data from specific cells in an Excel file, whether reading a single cell, a rectangular range, an entire column, or an entire row. The range address must be specified in A1 notation (e.g., 'A1:B5').

• Restore Deleted Item

  Tool to restore a deleted OneDrive driveItem (file or folder) from the recycle bin. Use when you need to recover a deleted item to its original location or to a specified parent folder, optionally renaming it during restoration. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: This API is ONLY available for OneDrive Personal accounts. It does NOT work with OneDrive for Business or SharePoint. For Business/SharePoint accounts, use the SharePoint REST API endpoints (/_api/web/recyclebin) instead.

• Search Items

  Search OneDrive for files and folders by keyword. Searches filenames, metadata, and file content to find matching items. Use when you need to find specific files based on keywords, file types, or content. Supports filtering, sorting, and pagination. Results are mixed files and folders — filter client-side using file vs folder properties. Disambiguate similarly named items using parentReference.path, lastModifiedDateTime, and size before passing item IDs downstream. Newly created or recently moved files may not appear due to indexing delays; fall back to ONE_DRIVE_LIST_FOLDER_CHILDREN if expected items are missing. No server-side date filtering — apply lastModifiedDateTime/createdDateTime filtering in your own logic. HTTP 429 responses include a Retry-After header; use exponential backoff.

• Update Drive Item Metadata

  Tool to update the metadata of a specific item (file or folder) in OneDrive. Use this to rename items, change descriptions, or move items to a new parent folder.

• Update Drive Item Permissions

  Tool to update the roles of an existing permission on a OneDrive drive item. Use when you need to change the access level (read, write, owner) for a specific permission on a file or folder.

• Write Workbook Cell

  Updates the value, formula, or format of a specific cell in an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive. Use this action when you need to write data to a single cell at a specific row and column position. The row and column parameters are 0-indexed (row 0 is the first row, column 0 is column A).

• Add Workbook Worksheet

  Adds a new worksheet to an existing Excel workbook in OneDrive or SharePoint. The worksheet is created with the specified name and appended to the end of the workbook's worksheet collection. Use this action when you need to create a new sheet in an Excel file to organize data, add reports, or separate information into logical sections.

• Create a new text file

  Creates a new plain-text file with specified content in the authenticated user's personal OneDrive, using either the folder's unique ID or its absolute path relative to the user's OneDrive root (paths are automatically resolved to IDs); note that OneDrive may rename or create a new version if the filename already exists. All files are written as plain text regardless of extension — specifying .docx or .xlsx does not produce a true Office document. This action only works with the user's personal OneDrive (/me/drive) and does not support SharePoint document libraries or shared drives.

• Create folder

  Creates a new folder in the user's OneDrive with configurable conflict behavior, optionally within a specified parent_folder (by ID or full path from root) which, if not the root, must exist and be accessible.

• Delete Workbook Range

  Deletes a range of cells from a worksheet in an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive. Use this action when you need to remove a specific cell range and shift the remaining cells to fill the gap. This action is irreversible — the deleted range cannot be recovered once removed. The operation requires Files.ReadWrite scope and the workbook must not be locked by another user or process.

• Delete Workbook Worksheet

  Deletes a worksheet from a workbook in OneDrive by its ID or name. Use this action when you need to remove a specific worksheet from an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive or SharePoint. This action is irreversible — the worksheet cannot be recovered once deleted. Note that deleting the last visible worksheet in a workbook may result in an error.

• Download a file

  Downloads a file from a user's OneDrive using its item ID, which must refer to a file and not a folder. Response contains a content object with fields: s3url (URL to fetch raw file bytes), mimetype, and name; raw file data is not returned directly. Parsing content from Excel, Word, PDF, or other formats requires additional tooling. The response also includes attachment.s3key, required when passing this file to downstream tools such as OUTLOOK_SEND_EMAIL or OUTLOOK_CREATE_DRAFT.

• Download Drive Item Version Content

  Tool to download the contents of a specific previous version of a drive item (file). Returns the actual file content. Note: You cannot download the current version using this endpoint - it only works for previous versions.

• Download file by path

  Downloads the contents of a file from OneDrive by its path. The API returns a 302 redirect to a pre-authenticated download URL. Use when you know the file path but not the item ID.

• Download item as format

  Tool to download the contents of a driveItem converted to a specific format (e.g., PDF or HTML). Use when you need to convert Office documents to PDF or Loop/Fluid files to HTML before downloading. Supports accessing items by item_id or by path, and can target specific drives via drive_id.

• Find Folder

  Finds folders by name within an accessible parent folder in OneDrive, or lists all its direct child folders if no name is specified. Search is non-recursive: only immediate children of `folder` are checked, not deeper hierarchy levels.

• Find Item

  Non-recursively finds an item (file or folder) in a specified OneDrive folder; if `folder` is provided as a path, it must actually exist. Results in large folders may be paginated via `@odata.nextLink`; iterate all pages to avoid missing files. For searches where the subfolder is unknown, use ONE_DRIVE_SEARCH_ITEMS instead.

• Follow Drive Item

  Tool to follow a driveItem (file or folder) in OneDrive or SharePoint. Use when you need to add an item to the user's followed items list for tracking updates.

• Get Drive Special Folder

  Tool to retrieve a special folder in OneDrive by name. Use when you need to access well-known folders (documents, photos, approot, etc.) without looking up by path or ID.

• Get Shared Item by ShareId

  Tool to access a shared DriveItem or collection of shared items using a shareId or encoded sharing URL. Returns the sharedDriveItem resource with metadata about the shared item and its owner. Use when you have a shareId or sharing token and need information about what was shared.

• Get Workbook Worksheet

  Retrieves a specific worksheet from an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive or SharePoint using Microsoft Graph API. Use this action when you need to get details about a particular worksheet, including its ID, name, position, and visibility. The worksheet can be identified by either its unique ID or its display name.

• List All Drive Items Recursively

  Recursively lists all files and folders in a OneDrive drive by traversing the entire folder hierarchy. Starts at the drive root and explores every subfolder to return a complete flattened list of all items. Use this action when you need a comprehensive inventory of all drive contents, want to search across all folders, or need to analyze the complete drive structure. For large drives with thousands of items, this operation may take significant time as it must traverse every folder.

• List Drive Bundles

  Tool to retrieve a list of bundle resources from a specified drive. Bundles are collections of files (e.g., photo albums). Use when you need to list bundles in a drive.

• List Folder Children

  List the direct children (files/folders) of a OneDrive/SharePoint folder by DriveItem ID or path. Returns reliable pagination tokens/nextLink for large folders. Use when you need to enumerate folder contents deterministically, find companion artifacts (e.g., .vtt/.docx files), or browse within a known folder.

• List OneDrive items

  Retrieves all files and folders as `driveItem` resources from the root of a specified user's OneDrive, automatically handling pagination. Non-recursive: returns only root-level items; subfolder contents require separate calls. Results may include `remoteItem` pointers (shared items from other drives) — use `remoteItem.driveId` and `remoteItem.id` for those in downstream calls. Distinguish files from folders by presence of `file` or `folder` property. Always use `id` values returned by this tool directly; never construct item IDs manually. Items may be absent from results due to permission restrictions, not drive absence.

• List Shares Permission

  Tool to retrieve permission details for a shared OneDrive or SharePoint item using a share ID. Use when you have an encoded sharing URL and need to check the permission level, password protection, and access details.

• Update File Content

  Tool to update an existing file's content in OneDrive. When called without a `file` parameter, creates an upload session and returns its uploadUrl (legacy behavior — caller drives the PUT uploads). When called with a `file` (FileUploadable), the action streams the file's bytes in chunks via the upload session and returns the final updated DriveItem. The item's ID is preserved (existing share links remain valid) unless conflict_behavior=rename causes the server to create a new item.

• Update Workbook Range

  Updates a range in a workbook worksheet using Microsoft Graph API. Use this action when you need to write data, formulas, or number formats to specific cells in an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive or SharePoint. The address parameter supports various formats including single cells, cell ranges, entire columns, or entire rows.

• Update Workbook Worksheet

  Updates properties of a worksheet in an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive. Use this action when you need to rename a worksheet, change its position (tab order), or modify its visibility state. At least one of name, position, or visibility must be provided in the request. The worksheet is identified by its ID or display name within the specified workbook.

• Upload file

  Uploads a file to a specified OneDrive folder, automatically creating the destination folder if it doesn't exist, renaming on conflict, and supporting large files via chunking.

These are the trigger events currently available for OneDrive.

• File Updated

  Trigger that fires when a OneDrive file's content or metadata changes. Returns file ID, last modified time, and modifier info.

• Item Moved or Renamed

  Triggers when a file or folder is moved to a different path or renamed in OneDrive. Includes both old and new path/name data in the payload.

• New Version Created

  Trigger that fires when a new version of a specified OneDrive file is created.

• OneDrive File Created Trigger

  Triggers when a new file is created in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management for reliable duplicate prevention.

• OneDrive Folder Created Trigger

  Triggers when a new folder is created in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management for reliable duplicate prevention.

• OneDrive Item Deleted Trigger

  Triggers when a file or folder is deleted in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management for reliable duplicate prevention.

• OneDrive Item Updated Trigger

  Triggers when an existing file or folder is modified in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management and only detects actual modifications, not new creations.

• Onedrivebasetrigger

  Base trigger for OneDrive changes using Gmail-style state management. Subclasses override `filter_changes(...)` to extract only the relevant items.

• Sharing Permission Added or Removed

  Sharing Permission Added or Removed
