I have created a custom api on workplace search. I understood posting csv files to workplacesearch using key and token. But I am trying to understand how to connect sharepoint which is on premise in our company to elastic ? Need some help in understanding how to proceed?

Hi 👋

Thanks for trying out Workplace Search.

Right now, we only support [SharePoint Online](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/7.9/workplace-search-sharepoint-online-connector.html). If you need your data from an on premise version of SharePoint into your Workplace Search instance, you will want to use the same [Custom API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/7.9/workplace-search-custom-api-sources.html) that you are already familiar with.

Hi Mads,

Is there any plan to release a connector for SharePoint on premise? If so, when might it be released?

Many thanks!

Hi Mark

I can't say, but we are currently working on making it easier for developers to create their own connectors. It will unfortunately still require you to develop your own connectors for your on-premise SharePoint solution.
