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

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Microsoft Excel and Wrike integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel and Wrike (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 Wrike
Microsoft Excel + Wrike + Microsoft Teams: When a new row is added to a Microsoft Excel table (representing tracked project hours), a new task is created in Wrike to reflect this time entry. A message is then sent to a Microsoft Teams channel to notify the team about the updated project hours and the new task.
Wrike + Microsoft Excel + Microsoft Outlook: When a task is completed in Wrike, a new row is added to a Microsoft Excel table with the completion date. An email is then sent from Microsoft Outlook summarizing the completed task details.
