Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Excel, Firecrawl, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy."

Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Microsoft Excel and Firecrawl integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel and Firecrawl (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 Firecrawl
