Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Giphy, 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 Giphy and Microsoft Excel integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Giphy 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 Giphy and Microsoft Excel
Slack + Microsoft Excel + Giphy: When a new message with a specific keyword is posted in a Slack channel, the message and keyword are logged into an Excel table row, and a relevant GIF from Giphy is posted to the same Slack channel.
Microsoft Excel + Giphy + Google Sheets: When a new row is added to an Excel table, the workflow checks if a specific data field meets a threshold. If the threshold is met, a celebratory GIF is found on Giphy, and a log entry with the Excel data and GIF URL is added to a Google Sheet.
