About SharePoint

SharePoint is Microsoft's enterprise content management and collaboration platform, embedded in Microsoft 365. Large organizations use SharePoint to host intranet sites, document libraries, and team portals — making it one of the richest enterprise knowledge sources available.

Integration capabilities

How BeforeQuery works with SharePoint

Everything you can do once the SharePoint integration is connected.

Microsoft 365 and on-premises support

BeforeQuery connects to SharePoint Online via Microsoft Graph API and to on-premises SharePoint deployments via the SharePoint REST API.

Site and library indexing

Select specific SharePoint sites, document libraries, and page libraries. BeforeQuery indexes the content of pages and Office documents with text content.

Azure AD integration

Authenticate with SharePoint using Azure Active Directory app registration — no user credentials required for the integration.

Restricted visibility

SharePoint content indexed in BeforeQuery can be scoped to the employee portal only, ensuring internal content never appears in customer-facing chat.
