Hi,

I have a site collection A and List A1 inside it and Site collection B and List B1 inside it.

Whenever a new item is addedin A1 , I want the same to be available in B1 and the same for updation as well.

How can I acheive this?

Hi Shreyas,

you can do that with SharePoint Designer workflow, so install sharepoint designer 2013, then open site and create workflow that starts when item is created but u need to select SharePoint 2010 as platform as copy action available with 2010 platform not 2013 (still will work with 2013 sites)

check this thread

Hi John,

I need to copy between 2 site collections. Above solutions helps when both the lists are in same site collection.

Hi

i think this feature is not available OOB (from one site collection to another), you may look for writing Event Receivers.

Thanks,
Danny

Please mark as answer if it helps.

Hi Danny,

Thanks for the reply. Is there any detailed step by steps or any post Where I can get code for Event Receivers.

Hi

1. create a powershell script which will copy the item

this is an example

2. create an event list, and attach it to your list ( main list )

http://www.sharepointpals.com/post/How-to-create-a-custom-list-level-event-receiver-in-SharePoint-2013-and-SharePoint-2010

2a. Start the powershell from event receiver

Hi Romeo Donca,

Your solution seems to be helpful.... But I don't think I can run the powershell scripts on the servers. My cliant SP admins may not allow it

are u allowed to deploy code to server?

Hi John, Yes I can send solution and get it deployed. Is there a way to do without deploying? Work flow using Restapi calls?

Hi,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy list items from one site collection.

If you don't want to do it without deploying, you can use rest api to copy list items from one site collection to another one, then you can use workflow to trigger the rest api when the source item created.

Here are some detailede code demos for your reference:

Copy List items using REST/JSON

CALLING THE SHAREPOINT 2013 REST API FROM A SHAREPOINT DESIGNER WORKFLOW

Thanks
