Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Microsoft Excel, Database, 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

Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel and Database (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 Database

Microsoft Excel + Database + Slack: When a new row is added to a specific table in Microsoft Excel, the data is synced to the database, and a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the team about the update.

Database + Microsoft Excel + Google Sheets: When a new object is created in the database, the information is added as a new row in a Google Sheet for backup purposes. The same information is then used to update a specific Excel report by adding a new row to the relevant table.
