How to connect Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Teams
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Teams
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 Microsoft Teams will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Teams, 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.

- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Teams, 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 Microsoft Teams integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Teams (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 Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Excel + Jira + Microsoft Teams: When a new row is added to a specified Excel table, the automation creates a new Jira issue based on the row data. Then, a message is sent to a Microsoft Teams channel to notify the team about the new Jira issue.
Microsoft Teams + Microsoft Excel + Microsoft Outlook: When a new message is posted to a specific channel in Microsoft Teams, the automation adds the message content as a new row in a designated Excel table. Subsequently, a summary of these entries is emailed via Microsoft Outlook on a scheduled basis.
