How to connect Microsoft OneNote and Microsoft Excel
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft OneNote and Microsoft Excel
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 OneNote, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Microsoft OneNote or Microsoft Excel will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft OneNote or Microsoft Excel, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Microsoft OneNote Node

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