What is the ATLAS Directory SharePoint API module?

The SP API creates a SharePoint list in an ADG subsite, this list syncs with ATLAS Directory contacts (all or part of them depending on your settings). By setting up a Power Automate Flow in your environment, this list will be synced with your own SP list located in your SP subsite and ready for use with your own applications (Power Apps, Web Parts, Power BI).

Enable Module

Module must be enabled by ADG Support, please submit a request for your post by emailing to adg-support@state.gov.
