SharePoint Integration	SharePoint	Import LLM test cases from Microsoft SharePoint. Configure certificate-based authentication and load test data from SharePoint CSV files.

SharePoint Integration

promptfoo allows you to import eval test cases directly from Microsoft SharePoint CSV files using certificate-based authentication with Azure AD.

Prerequisites

1. Install Peer Dependencies

   npm install @azure/msal-node
   

2. Set Up Azure AD Application

   • Register an application in Azure Portal under "Azure Active Directory" > "App registrations"
   • Configure API permissions with SharePoint Sites.Read.All permission
   • Set up certificate-based authentication by generating a PEM certificate (containing both private key and certificate) and uploading it to your application
   • Ensure your application has the necessary permissions to access SharePoint sites

   Consult your IT/DevOps team or Microsoft documentation for detailed setup steps.

3. Configure Environment Variables

   Set the following environment variables:

   export SHAREPOINT_CLIENT_ID="your-application-client-id"
   export SHAREPOINT_TENANT_ID="your-azure-tenant-id"
   export SHAREPOINT_CERT_PATH="/path/to/sharepoint-certificate.pem"
   export SHAREPOINT_BASE_URL="https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com"
   

   Or create a .env file in your project root:

   SHAREPOINT_CLIENT_ID=your-application-client-id
   SHAREPOINT_TENANT_ID=your-azure-tenant-id
   SHAREPOINT_CERT_PATH=/path/to/sharepoint-certificate.pem
   SHAREPOINT_BASE_URL=https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com
   

   :::caution Remember to add .env to your .gitignore file! :::

Importing Test Cases from SharePoint

Once authentication is configured, specify the SharePoint CSV file URL in your configuration:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://promptfoo.dev/config-schema.json
description: 'SharePoint CSV Import Example'
prompts:
  - 'Please translate the following text to {{language}}: {{input}}'
providers:
  - openai:gpt-5
  - anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
# highlight-start
tests: https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite/Shared%20Documents/test-cases.csv
# highlight-end

The SharePoint CSV file should be structured with columns that define the test cases:

language,input,__expected
French,Hello world,icontains: bonjour
German,I'm hungry,llm-rubric: is german
Swahili,Hello world,similar(0.8):hello world

💡 For details on CSV structure, refer to loading assertions from CSV.

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Required
SHAREPOINT_CLIENT_ID	Azure AD application (client) ID from app registration	Yes
SHAREPOINT_TENANT_ID	Azure AD tenant (directory) ID	Yes
SHAREPOINT_CERT_PATH	Path to PEM file containing private key and certificate	Yes
SHAREPOINT_BASE_URL	Base URL of your SharePoint site	Yes

Using Custom Providers for Model-Graded Metrics

When using SharePoint for test cases, you can still use custom providers for model-graded metrics like llm-rubric or similar. To do this, override the default LLM grader by adding a defaultTest property to your configuration:

prompts:
  - file://prompt1.txt
  - file://prompt2.txt
providers:
  - openai:gpt-5
  - anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929
tests: https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite/Shared%20Documents/test-cases.csv
defaultTest:
  options:
    provider:
      text:
        id: ollama:chat:llama3.3:70b
      embedding:
        id: ollama:embeddings:mxbai-embed-large

For more details on customizing the LLM grader, see the model-graded metrics documentation.
