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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Excel, CloudConvert, 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 Microsoft Excel and CloudConvert integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel and CloudConvert (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 CloudConvert
Microsoft Excel + CloudConvert + Google Drive: When a new workbook is created in Microsoft Excel, it is automatically converted to PDF using CloudConvert. The resulting PDF file is then saved to a specified folder in Google Drive for archiving.
CloudConvert + Microsoft Excel + Email: When a CloudConvert job finishes (e.g., converting a document), the resulting data is extracted and a new row is added to an existing Microsoft Excel sheet. A summary of the updated Excel sheet is then sent via email.
