OneDrive Trigger

Overview

Start automations when files change inside OneDrive. You can generate audit summaries, notify security teams about external sharing, or update downstream line-of-business systems with new document metadata.

Tip

Connect OneDrive in Tools & Integrations and toggle the trigger on for your deployment.

Enabling the OneDrive Trigger

1. Open your deployment in CrewAI AMP
2. Go to the Triggers tab
3. Locate OneDrive and switch the toggle to enable

Microsoft OneDrive trigger connection

Example: Audit file permissions

from onedrive_file_crew import OneDriveFileTrigger

crew = OneDriveFileTrigger().crew()
crew.kickoff({
    "crewai_trigger_payload": onedrive_payload,
})

The crew inspects file metadata, user activity, and permission changes to produce a compliance-friendly summary.

Testing Locally

Test your OneDrive trigger integration locally using the CrewAI CLI:

# View all available triggers
crewai triggers list

# Simulate a OneDrive trigger with realistic payload
crewai triggers run microsoft_onedrive/file_changed

The crewai triggers run command will execute your crew with a complete OneDrive payload, allowing you to test your parsing logic before deployment.

Warning

Use crewai triggers run microsoft_onedrive/file_changed (not crewai run) to simulate trigger execution during development. After deployment, your crew will automatically receive the trigger payload.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the connected account has permission to read the file metadata included in the webhook
• Test locally with crewai triggers run microsoft_onedrive/file_changed to see the exact payload structure
• If the trigger fires but the payload is missing permissions, confirm the site-level sharing settings allow Graph to return this field
• For large tenants, filter notifications upstream so the crew only runs on relevant directories
• Remember: use crewai triggers run (not crewai run) to simulate trigger execution
