It looks like the issue is occurring before the writeback process itself, as the automation is unable to access the Excel file stored in SharePoint/OneDrive using blocks like “List File.”

This is commonly caused by connector configuration, permissions, authentication, or incorrect file path setup.

Instead of depending on external file connectors, you can consider a more direct writeback approach. Tools like SenseOps Writeback allow users to write data directly from the Qlik app to a database, which helps avoid SharePoint/OneDrive file access issues and provides a more reliable solution.
