Frequently Asked Questions about Microsoft Excel + SMS by Zapier integrations

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

How can I send an SMS when a new row is added to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet?

To send an SMS when a new row is added to your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, you can set up a Zap using 'New Row' as the trigger. This will monitor your spreadsheet for any new rows and automatically send an SMS through the 'Send SMS' action in our platform.

Is it possible to update an Excel row from an incoming SMS?

Currently, our integration supports sending SMS from Excel triggers, but updating Excel based on incoming SMS messages requires setting up additional Webhooks or custom code solutions.

What phone numbers can I send SMS to using the integration?

Our Zapier integration allows sending SMS to any valid phone number internationally, provided that the number adheres to the E.164 format required by our service.

Can I track delivery status of my sent SMS messages?

Currently, we don't provide real-time delivery status tracking for sent SMS messages. You will know if your Zap successfully ran, but cellular network confirmations are not detailed in our current setup.

Are there limits on the number of rows that can trigger an SMS message at once?

Yes, while setting up a Zap with Microsoft Excel and SMS integration, each new row processed consecutively triggers a separate Zap run. It's important to consider your plan's task limit which impacts how many Zaps you can execute.

Can I customize the content of the SMS sent via this integration?

Absolutely! You can customize the text message content in your Zap setup, including dynamically inserting data from corresponding cells in your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

How do I handle errors if my zap fails when sending an SMS message from Excel data?

If there's an error in sending the message, examine detailed error logs available within each Zap run history. Adjust any incorrect input fields or check any connectivity issues between Excel and our platform.
