Integrations OfficeOnline

Office Online Integration

Huddle provides an integration with Office Online, which allows users to view and edit content stored in Huddle in the Office Online application.

If enabled by the account, the Office Online integration element will be returned with the response. In the links collection of this element, there will be one with the @rel value integration. This end point lets you know which specific actions you can perform in Office Online.

If the OfficeOnline integration element does not contain the integration link, then the reasons will be returned in the DisabledReasons collection, which will contain a list of (string) error codes explaining why Office Online is disabled.

Code	Reason
ACCOUNT_SETTING_DISABLED	-
WORKSPACE_SETTING_DISABLED (or DOC_LIB_SETTING_DISABLED)	Workspace setting disabled

Also, note that Office Online presently supports the following MimeTypes for 'Edit'

Extension	MIME Type	Integration
.docx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document	Office Online
.pptx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation	Office Online
.xlsx	application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet	Office Online

A successful GET request has been made to the integration uri will return a set of links. The link with a @rel of view-session is the uri to initiate a view (read-only) Office Online session, and the link with a @rel of edit-session is the uri for initiating an Office Online editing session.
