Frequently Asked Questions about Microsoft Excel + Rally 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 Rally

How do I set up a trigger in Microsoft Excel to send data to Rally?

To set up a trigger within Microsoft Excel that sends data to Rally, first create a zap in our platform. Choose Excel as the trigger app and define what new or updated spreadsheet row should initiate the workflow. From there, you can easily select Rally as the action app, guiding you through mapping your Excel data fields to the corresponding fields within Rally.

Can I update Rally work items directly from an Excel spreadsheet?

Yes, you can update Rally work items directly from an Excel spreadsheet. By setting up a zap with an Excel 'Update Row' trigger, you can automatically apply changes made in your spreadsheet to corresponding work items in Rally using the 'Update Item' action.

Is it possible to create new tasks in Rally from Excel data?

Absolutely, creating new tasks in Rally using data from an Excel spreadsheet is straightforward with our service. Simply configure a zap where any new row addition in your chosen worksheet triggers the creation of a task in Rally by selecting the 'Create Task' action.

What types of actions can be performed on Rally updates when receiving data from Excel?

When receiving data from Microsoft Excel, actions you can take on Rally include creating or updating tasks or projects within your desired workspace. This ensures any change detected by your zap's trigger syncs reliably onto your Rally setup.

Can I integrate multiple worksheets from Microsoft Excel with my Rally account simultaneously?

Yes, integrating multiple worksheets within Microsoft Excel into your Rally account is feasible. You'll need to create separate zaps for each worksheet-trigger combination and direct them towards their respective tasks or items within Rally.

How do we ensure real-time updates between my Microsoft Excel sheet and my Rally dashboard?

To ensure real-time updates between your Microsoft Excel sheet and your Rally dashboard, configure triggers that monitor for new entries or changes immediately. Our integration handles these signals promptly to update relevant items or records within your dashboards instantly.

Are there any limitations on the type of data that can be transferred from Excel to Rally?

While most standard formats and numerical values transfer seamlessly between Microsoft Excel and Rally, complex formulas or unsupported file types may require adjustment before integration. Our platform focuses on fluidly synchronizing common data setups between these tools.
