Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Close CRM, 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 Close CRM and Microsoft Excel integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Close CRM 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 Close CRM and Microsoft Excel
Close CRM + Microsoft Excel + Slack: When a new lead is created in Close CRM, the lead's information is added as a new row to a specified Microsoft Excel table. Then, a notification is sent to a Slack channel to inform the sales team about the new lead.
Microsoft Excel + Close CRM + Google Sheets: When a new row is added to a Microsoft Excel table, a new lead is created in Close CRM with the data from the Excel row. The same data is then backed up by adding a new row to a Google Sheet.
