Connection and files

Microsoft no longer accepts the credentials Profound stored, for example because your password changed or an administrator revoked Profound’s access.Connect your Microsoft account again as described in the Microsoft SharePoint or Outlook setup guide.
Your Microsoft 365 tenant hasn’t consented to the SharePoint permissions that Profound’s app requests. Connecting your account again doesn’t fix this: ask a tenant administrator to grant them, then try again.
  • Select a Microsoft Account first. The field stays disabled until you do.
  • Search reaches only the files Microsoft has indexed. Use Browse to reach a file you created a moment ago.
  • Confirm that your Microsoft account can open the file. Profound sees only what you can see.
Check that the link points to the file itself and that the file hasn’t been moved or renamed. A Word document must be a .docx or .docm file, a workbook a .xlsx or .xlsm file, and a presentation a .pptx file.
Microsoft limits how many requests it accepts in a period of time. Wait, then run the Agent again.
The node can’t find the folder or the document you’re trying to write to. Use Browse folders in OneDrive or SharePoint to select a valid folder or document.

Outlook

The From address must be the connected mailbox’s own address or one of its aliases. Shared mailboxes and other users’ mailboxes aren’t supported. Leave From empty to send as the connected account.
Every address under To, Cc, and Bcc must be valid, and a single email can have up to 500 recipients across the three fields combined. Remove or correct the address and run the node again.

Word

This is expected. Create Document keeps headings, lists, bold, italic, and links, and turns tables, code blocks, and images into plain text.
Get Document refuses a file past its size limit rather than returning part of it. Split the document, or copy the pages you need into a smaller file.

Excel

In Get Row, set Row selection to Specific row and enter the Row number, or change the selection to First row or Last row.
Excel can’t safely add rows from two sources at the same time, so Profound waits for the first write to finish before it starts the second. If the wait takes too long, the node reports that another append to the workbook is in progress, and nothing is written. Run the step again, or combine the rows into a single Write Rows node instead of several.
The range holds more data than Get Values or Get Row returns in one call. Narrow the Range, or read the worksheet in parts.
In the node settings, set Value property to Values, which interprets each value as typed. Use Formulas when you want the value written as a formula.
The node uses the first visible worksheet when Worksheet name is empty. If every worksheet is hidden, enter the name of the worksheet to use.
The data a node attempts to write isn’t in the correct format. To see the expected format, clear the data field (usually Rows or Row data) and read the placeholder text.

PowerPoint

Get Content refuses a file past its size limit rather than returning part of it. Split the presentation, or copy the slides you need into a smaller file.
