Hello out there,

I'm trying to use some of the Sharepoint List Tasks, but no matter what I try I cannot get the connection to work so I can choose a List - I keep getting the error message: "Error retrieviving items: Cannot contact site at the specified URL xxxxxxx"
Its Sharepoint Online / Office365 and _not_ on-premise.

I've attached the settings I've used in the connection.
I've tried different versions of the Server Address:
https://mydomain.sharepoint.com 
https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/ 
https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites 
https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/ 
https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename 
https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename/ 

If I just go to https://mydomain.sharepoint.com  and login using the same username/password as I enter in my connection details, I login fine - but not through VisualCron...

Anyone has any ideas ?
I'm getting desperate :-)

Dave, I'm having the exact same issue. Did you ever get this resolved?

...and same here. My scenario is exactly the same as the OP. Any advice would be appreciated.

Please test with the latest build. If it still does not work then send email to support@visualcron.com with screenshots of the settings and error.

You might try creating an App Password in SharePoint that you can use for your VC connection. That will bypass two-factor authentication (if you're using it), plus it won't change if you change your main account password.

Using 8.4.1
Trying to connect to SharepointOnline and no matter what format I use (same as OP), I keep getting:
Exception in Task: Cannot contact site at the specified URL https://COMPANY.sharepoint.com/sites/SUBSITE .
The documentation around this feature is lacking
Any assistance?
