New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Microsoft Excel and OneDrive

Can I automatically save my Excel spreadsheets to OneDrive using this integration?

Yes, once integrated, you can set up triggers so that your Excel spreadsheets are automatically saved to specific folders in OneDrive whenever changes are made.

What types of triggers are available for this integration?

Some available triggers include when an Excel spreadsheet is updated, when a new row is added, or when a file in OneDrive is created or modified. These triggers help automate actions between the platforms.
