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

- 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 Ghost, 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 Ghost and Microsoft Excel integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Ghost 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 Ghost and Microsoft Excel
Ghost + Microsoft Excel + Google Sheets: When a new post is published in Ghost, its title and publication date are added to a Microsoft Excel worksheet. Then, data from the Excel worksheet is periodically synced to a Google Sheet for visualization purposes.
Microsoft Excel + Ghost + Slack: When a new row is added to a Microsoft Excel table, indicating an underperforming post (based on pre-defined criteria), a Slack message is sent to a designated channel suggesting updates to that post. The message can include the post title and a link for easy access.
