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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Excel, Google Forms, 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 Forms integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel and Google Forms (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 Forms
Google Forms + Microsoft Excel + Slack: When a new form is submitted via Google Forms, the data is automatically added as a new row to a specified table in Microsoft Excel. Subsequently, a summary of the form submission is sent to a designated Slack channel.
Microsoft Excel + Google Forms + Google Sheets: When a new row is added to a table in Microsoft Excel, the data from that row is used to update or add a corresponding row in a Google Sheet. This allows for analysis in Excel with results pushed to Google Sheets for shared viewing.
