When triggered by Microsoft Excel, actions that can be performed in Mural include creating new murals, adding or updating sticky notes, and brainstorming templates based on the data changes detected within Excel. You have control over which boards are affected and how data is displayed.

Is it possible to customize triggers from Microsoft Excel to suit my specific needs?

Can I use Excel formulas as part of the triggering process for Mural integration?

What should I do if my trigger from Microsoft Excel fails to execute an action in Mural?

If your trigger from Microsoft Excel fails to execute an action in Mural, first check your connectivity and verify that both platforms have relevant permissions enabled. Reviewing logs could provide insights into any errors encountered during execution. Our support team is also available for assistance with troubleshooting.

Are there any limitations when using this integration between Microsoft Excel and Mural?

While our integration offers robust features connecting Microsoft Excel with Mural, there may be limitations related to real-time syncing speeds and the complexity of some datasets which might require additional processing time. Large volumes of data could also affect performance temporarily.
