Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Basin and Microsoft Excel integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Basin and Microsoft Excel (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
