Data Shuttle error on export to Excel

I'm receiving this error and cannot figure out why:

"The workflow has been executed with an error. Workflow Execute: Could not access target. Please check your workflow configuration for errors."

I've relogged into SharePoint several times, selected the correct folder, ensured the excel file is closed, etc. Still getting the error though. This particular data shuttle worked fine until I went to make a small change to the number of fields synced. Now it won't work at all.

I'm curious if this is a known issue? Happy to file a ticket either way.

Hi @johngraham78,

Just wanted to double check that "Source Location" is selected as "OneDrive & Sharepoint", and after signing in through the external account (a login window would prompt up if you're not already signed in), you clicked on the magnifying glass icon to search for the file name?

Can you check whether after selecting the file name, the file name ends with the extension ".csv", or ".xlsx"? If no, try renaming your file in your SharePoint to add the extension, then retry and select the source file again.

Cheers,

Ric

@Ric T , thanks for the question. Yes, I have confirmed all of those.

I reached out to support and they confirmed this is a known issue. I'll post on this thread once they have a solution.

I have the same issue I guess I will open a ticket as well, thanks for sharing.

@Archiduc Yes, file a ticket. I did and the problem was resolved rather quickly. It appears their fix was not universal though, and/or another issue came up.

Regardless, here was their response from a few weeks ago:

Thanks, it seems we did not have the same issue after all, as mine was not working beforehand, it just never worked when I tried it for the first time.

Support mentioned I must ask my IT to let Smartsheet write on our Sharepoint. I hadn't found that on any documentation, which is a bit annoying.

They gave me the app client id and the Required Permissions:

offline_access files.readwrite

sites.readwrite.all user.read
