Procore RFIs Sync with SharePoint: How It Works and How to Use It

Procore RFIs Sync with SharePoint: How It Works and How to Use It

Introduction to the RFIs Sync Feature : 

The Procore RFIs Tool Sync with SharePoint allows for the automatic synchronization of Requests for Information (RFIs) from Procore to SharePoint in a one-way sync. This ensures that your SharePoint repository always has the latest RFIs from Procore, stored as PDF files, eliminating the need for manual downloads and updates.

πŸ” Permissions Required for RFIs Sync

To enable RFI syncing, admin permissions are required for the RFIs tool in Procore.



πŸ”„ How the RFIs Sync Works

βœ” One-Way Sync: RFIs from Procore are automatically transferred to SharePoint as PDF files.
βœ” Automatic Updates: Any updates made to RFIs in Procore trigger a new PDF sync, replacing the previous version to maintain accurate records.
βœ” Folder Structure: RFIs are organized in SharePoint based on your Procore structure, ensuring consistency and easy navigation.
βœ” Access Anytime in SharePoint: Once synced, your RFIs are readily available in SharePoint, making it easier for teams to collaborate using SharePoint for document management.
