How to connect Caption AI and Microsoft Excel
Create a New Scenario to Connect Caption AI and Microsoft Excel
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Caption AI, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Caption AI or Microsoft Excel will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Caption AI or Microsoft Excel, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Caption AI Node
Select the Caption AI node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the Caption AI and Microsoft Excel Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Caption AI, Microsoft Excel, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Caption AI and Microsoft Excel integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Caption AI and Microsoft Excel (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Caption AI and Microsoft Excel
Caption AI + Microsoft Excel + Slack: When a new video generation request is submitted to Caption AI, this automation checks the status of the request. Once complete, key insights are logged into a new row in Microsoft Excel. Finally, the insights are shared in a designated Slack channel.
Microsoft Excel + Caption AI + Gmail: When a new row is added to a Microsoft Excel table, this automation submits a request to Caption AI to generate a summary. Once the summary is generated, it's sent via email to a specified list of stakeholders for quick updates.
