1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start automating message sending from Excel to Microsoft Teams, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications, including Excel and Microsoft Teams.

After logging into your Pabbly Connect account, click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ to begin setting up your automation. You will be prompted to name your workflow, which helps in identifying the automation process.

2. Setting Up Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, the next step involves defining the trigger and action for your workflow. Here, you will select Excel as the trigger application. Choose the event ‘New Row in Worksheet’ so that any new instruction added will trigger the automation.

• Select Microsoft Excel as the trigger application.
• Choose the event ‘New Row in Worksheet’.
• Connect your Microsoft Excel account by clicking ‘Add New Connection’.

After connecting, select the specific workbook you want to monitor. In this case, it will be named ‘All Instructions and Rules to be Implemented’. Once selected, Pabbly Connect will capture the data from the new row added in Excel.

3. Sending Messages to Microsoft Teams via Pabbly Connect

After configuring the trigger, the next step is to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. Here, you will select Microsoft Teams as the action application and the event ‘Send a Message in Channel’. This ensures that the message captured from Excel will be sent to your specified Teams channel.

• Select Microsoft Teams as the action application.
• Choose the event ‘Send a Message in Channel’.
• Connect your Microsoft Teams account.

Once connected, choose the channel where you want to send the message. You can map the message from the Excel row to ensure that the correct information is sent to your team automatically. This mapping is crucial for the automation to work efficiently.

4. Finalizing the Automation in Pabbly Connect

With both the trigger and action set up in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to finalize the automation. Ensure that the automation is enabled, allowing it to run in the background without manual intervention.

Once everything is set up, any new row added to your Excel sheet will automatically trigger a message in Microsoft Teams. Keep in mind that the data capture will occur approximately every 8 hours due to the polling nature of the trigger. This means that while the automation is set, results may not be instantaneous.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to use Pabbly Connect to automate message sending from Excel to Microsoft Teams. By following the steps outlined, you can streamline your communication and ensure your team stays updated effortlessly.
