[quote userid="3728" url="~/discussions/f/integrations/18206/share-point-integration-19-1"]1. What is the best way to do the integration ? [/quote]

Primarily it depends on your requirement. If user is triggering the integration, file upload or download use Appian sharepoint connector function. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.1/fnc_connector_shp_a_shpcopydocumentfromappian.html

[quote userid="3728" url="~/discussions/f/integrations/18206/share-point-integration-19-1"]2. Can we use a HTTP connector to do the integration ? [/quote]

Yes. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.1/HTTP_File_Download_Smart_Service.html

Note: document upload service is deprecated.

[quote userid="3728" url="~/discussions/f/integrations/18206/share-point-integration-19-1"]3. What is the Authentication type used? [/quote]

AFAIK, In Appian 19.1 you can only use basic authentication.

[quote userid="3728" url="~/discussions/f/integrations/18206/share-point-integration-19-1"]4. Any access level modifications which needs to be done on the Sharepoint side to achieve the same ? [/quote]

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Depends on if basic authentication enabled on Sharepoint site, site permissions etc.

You could use a!webContentField() I didn't try this recently when I tried few years ago Sharepoint didn't allow editing when I used a!webContentField().

Have you already looked at the documentation? There's several pages that describe the functions available in 19.1, for instance there is a Copy Document from Appian function page that describes how to upload documents to sharePoint.

The SharePoint connected system was not introduced until 19.3, so you will have to use the existing functions instead to perform your integration.
