Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily set up this integration without any coding knowledge. This powerful automation tool enables real-time updates between OneDrive and OneNote, ensuring your notes are always up-to-date with the latest images.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin the integration process, first, access Pabbly Connect by visiting the official website. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create your account. Existing users can click on ‘Sign In’ to access their dashboard.

Once logged in, navigate to the ‘All Apps’ section and select Pabbly Connect. Click on the plus sign to create a new workflow. Name your workflow something like ‘Add OneDrive Images to OneNote’ and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

3. Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger that detects new images in your OneDrive account. Open the trigger window and select ‘Microsoft OneDrive’ as the app. For the trigger event, choose ‘New File’ and click on ‘Connect’.

• Click on ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your OneDrive account.
• Authorize access to your OneDrive account.
• Set the folder path where your images will be uploaded.

After setting up the folder path, upload a new image to OneDrive. Then, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the image details. You will see the image name, size, and URL in the response.

4. Using Text Formatter in Pabbly Connect

Now, we will utilize the Text Formatter feature within Pabbly Connect to modify the image name. This is important to ensure that the file extension does not appear in the OneNote title. Open the action window and select ‘Text Formatter’ as the app, then choose ‘Split Text’.

• Map the image name from OneDrive.
• Set the separator as ‘.’ to split the file name.
• Select the segment index as ‘First’ to get the name without the extension.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the name has been split correctly. You should see the modified name without the file extension in the response.

5. Finalizing the Integration to Upload Images to OneNote

In the final step, you will set up the action to create a note in Microsoft OneNote using Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step and select ‘Microsoft OneNote’. Choose ‘Create HTML Note in Section’ as the action event.

Connect your OneNote account and authorize access. Select the notebook and section where you want the images to be uploaded. Map the title using the modified name from the Text Formatter step, and include the image URL in the content using HTML tags.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the integration. Refresh your OneNote account to see the newly uploaded image. You can repeat this process for any new images you upload to OneDrive, and they will automatically appear in OneNote, thanks to Pabbly Connect.
