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

Add the Microsoft Teams Node
Select the Microsoft Teams node from the app selection panel on the right.

- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- 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.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Teams, 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 Teams and Microsoft Excel integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Excel (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Teams + Microsoft Excel + Jira: When a new message is posted in a specific Microsoft Teams channel, indicating a critical issue, a new row is added to a designated Excel spreadsheet to log the issue. Subsequently, a new issue is created in Jira to track and resolve the problem.
Microsoft Excel + Microsoft Teams + Microsoft Outlook: When a new row is added to a specific table in Microsoft Excel, a summary of the new data is sent as a message to a designated Microsoft Teams channel. Additionally, an email containing the same summary is sent to stakeholders via Microsoft Outlook.
