Actions
What your agents can do in Microsoft Excel
5 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 3
Look things up. Nothing changes.
List worksheets
Lists the worksheets in a workbook, by the workbook file's OneDrive item ID: each sheet's ID, name, position and visibility.
List tables
Lists the Excel tables in a workbook, by the workbook file's OneDrive item ID: each table's ID and name.
Read a range
Reads the raw cell values of a range on a worksheet, like A1:D20, as a list of rows in values.
Write 2
Create, change or send.
Add rows to a table
Appends one or more rows to the end of an Excel table, by the table's name or ID.
Update a range
Writes values into a range on a worksheet, like A2:C3.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Sign in with Microsoft and approve access (OAuth).
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Microsoft Excel data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list worksheets, list tables or read a range in Microsoft Excel, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Microsoft Excel
Have the agent add rows to a table or update a range in Microsoft Excel as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Microsoft Excel and Slack: it can list worksheets in Microsoft Excel and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
