How to connect Facebook and Microsoft Excel
Create a New Scenario to Connect Facebook 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 Facebook, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Facebook or Microsoft Excel will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Facebook or Microsoft Excel, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Configure the Facebook
Click on the Facebook node to configure it. You can modify the Facebook URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Microsoft Excel Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Facebook node, select Microsoft Excel from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Microsoft Excel.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Facebook, 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 Facebook and Microsoft Excel integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Facebook and Microsoft Excel (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
