Hi! I’m trying to nail the UX of excel. We already support Google sheets, but excel IIRC is a file-based format? Do you imagine re-uploading the latest version

Hi! I’m trying to nail the UX of excel. We already support Google sheets, but excel IIRC is a file-based format? Do you imagine re-uploading the latest version of the spreadsheet in order to update the document? Re: CRMs, we currently work with smaller teams who use CRMs like Hubspot (we have a Hubspot integration), but salesforce could be interesting too. Zapier I believe doesn’t give you data in a structured format, rather a series of “events” as and when they happen. This is workable, Ofcourse, and I will look into it today. Thanks for the feedback!

One it’s in Office 365 you may be able to query Excel from elsewhere with an API (or load the whole sheet, not sure).

  True! That's a great idea! We tried with Airtable for a proof of concept, but Airtable is not issuing metadata API tokens anymore..should try with Office 365

    Thought I could hop on here and plug my YC company, hotglue. We help people building products offer native integrations much more quickly, just thought it would be worth mentioning if you’re exploring building more integrations.

Hi, I wouldn’t want to have to upload the latest version every time. For it to be a livedoc, I would expect your system to be able to automatically update from an Excel file saved online in OneDrive for Business. This is what the apps integrated with Excel on Zapier seem to do as well - see https://zapier.com/apps/excel/integrations https://zapier.com/apps/excel/integrations
