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.
Connect OneDrive in Tools & Integrations and toggle the trigger on for
your deployment.
Enabling the OneDrive Trigger
- Open your deployment in CrewAI AMP
- Go to the Triggers tab
- Locate OneDrive and switch the toggle to enable
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.
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
