Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel and Attio (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft Excel and Attio
Microsoft Excel + Attio + Slack: When a new row is added to a specific table in Microsoft Excel, the details of the new contact are automatically created as a new entry in Attio. Subsequently, a Slack message is sent to a designated channel to notify relevant team members about the new contact added in Attio.
Attio + Microsoft Excel + Google Sheets: When a new entry is created in Attio, the contact details are added as a new row in a specified Microsoft Excel table.
