How to connect Microsoft Excel and Google Ads
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft Excel and Google Ads
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 Google Ads will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft Excel or Google Ads, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Microsoft Excel Node
Select the Microsoft Excel node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Excel, Google Ads, 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 Google Ads integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel and Google Ads (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 Google Ads
Microsoft Excel + Google Ads + Slack: When a new row is added to an Excel table tracking Google Ads spend, the automation checks if the spend exceeds a predefined threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the marketing team.
Microsoft Excel + Google Ads + Google Sheets: This automation lists rows from an Excel table, representing Google Ads keywords and their performance metrics. It then identifies underperforming keywords based on criteria defined in Excel and adds these keywords, along with relevant data, as new rows to a Google Sheet for review and further action.
