SharePoint
SharePoint's role as the entry point and document source for the UNRWA Digital Archive pipeline.
Overview
SharePoint is the primary source system where UNRWA stores scanned refugee documents. It serves as the entry point to the Digital Archive pipeline — all documents begin here before being ingested, classified, and processed downstream.
Role in the Pipeline
| Responsibility | Details |
|---|---|
| Document source | Stores all scanned documents uploaded by UNRWA operators |
| Ingestion trigger | Power Automate monitors SharePoint for new unprocessed files |
| Status tracking | Each document record is updated with an ingestion status flag after it is picked up, preventing duplicate processing in subsequent automation runs |
Ingestion Status Flag
After a document is read and uploaded to Azure Blob Storage, Power Automate writes a status flag back to the SharePoint record. This flag marks the file as ingested and ensures it is skipped in all future automation runs.
