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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Excel, Kintone, 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 Kintone integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel and Kintone (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
