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

How do I connect Microsoft Excel with Linear using our platform?

To integrate Microsoft Excel with Linear, start by creating a new zap. In the trigger step, select 'Microsoft Excel' and choose an event such as 'New Row Added'. You'll then follow the prompts to connect your Excel account. In the action step, select 'Linear', choose an action like 'Create Issue', and connect your Linear account.

Can I update tasks in Linear from changes in an Excel spreadsheet?

Yes, you can update tasks in Linear when changes occur in your Excel spreadsheet. Set up an automation where 'Update Row' in Microsoft Excel serves as the trigger, and 'Update Issue' is set as the action step for Linear.

Is it possible to create a new project in Linear when a new sheet is created in Excel?

Currently, we do not support triggering actions in Linear based on new sheet creation in Excel. However, you can work around it by manually adding rows or data that can act as triggers for creating projects.

What are some popular triggers for using Microsoft Excel with our platform?

Popular triggers include 'New Row Added', 'Row Updated', and 'New Worksheet'. These can be used to initiate actions within connectors like Linear to automate your workflow efficiently.

Are there any limitations I should know about when integrating Microsoft Excel with Linear?

One limitation is that currently we cannot directly trigger operations based on formula outputs changing values. Additionally, managing large datasets might require segmenting due to data handling limits.

How do we handle errors when syncing between Microsoft Excel and Linear?

In case of errors when syncing between Microsoft Excel and Linear, check connection settings for both applications first. Our task history provides detailed logs that can help diagnose issues. Retrying failed zaps often resolves intermittent connectivity problems.
