Topic: Architecture & integrations

**Yes, absolutely. Govform connects your digital services to SharePoint, Dataverse and other existing systems, so information can move straight into the tools your team relies on.**

You can look up records during a journey, use results to guide the next step, and send validated answers or evidence onward. That supports a joined-up process and reduces the need to rekey submissions.

## Make your Microsoft systems part of the journey

Use existing information and update the systems of record
| Connection | What you can do |
| --- | --- |
| SharePoint lists | Look up matching records, populate choices, add new items or use an upsert to update a match or insert a new record. |
| SharePoint files | Store uploaded evidence in a selected site and folder, while keeping normal Govform view and download links. |
| SharePoint spreadsheets | Use Excel-backed data feeds for lookups, validation and information displayed in the service. |
| Dataverse | Connect through API actions, with the authentication, headers and payload mappings required by your Dataverse endpoint. |
| Organisational sign-in | Use an OpenID Connect provider such as Microsoft Entra ID for a familiar sign-in experience. |

## Fit the integration to the process

-   **Use the result immediately.** Show matches, pre-populate values or branch based on what a lookup returns.
-   **Send the right information.** Map answers, calculated values and action results to receiving-system fields.
-   **Update after approval.** Place downstream actions after review steps when records should only change once work is accepted.
-   **Test safely.** Separate QA and Production connections let you prove the full process against test systems.
