Hello! I’m new to Zapier, amazing tool! I guess this task shouldn’t be that hard, but I’m struggling to find a solution:

I have an MS Excel file in my Onedrive which contains rows from a booking system.

In the Excel file, there is a specific cell that contains the number of booked days this month.

All I would like to do is that on a regular basis, say every Monday, send a simple e-mail containing:

  • A subject (text)
  • Some text
  • The content of the cell from the Exceldocument in Onedrive.

It could basically look like:

Hello! The number of booked days is as of today: ocell content]

I have found ways of sending an email when something is updated in the Excel document, but that would be far to often. I simply want to schedule the e-mail, but still include the value from the Excel cell.

Any suggestions?

 

Best regards,
Martin

Hi @arleskr ,

Thanks for reaching out! Have you taken a look at Scheduler by Zapier? This could help you choose a specific day for this email to be sent!


Hi @arleskr!

 

Did using Schedule by Zapier help for your workflow here?  


Hello,  No, I couldn't find a way that combined the scheduling I wanted from Schedule with the fact that the email needed to collect and include information from an Excel Online document.  So I ended up with a solution that sends the email every time a specified column in the Excel document is updated.


Hi @arleskr !

That sounds like a great solution, to use the Updated Row trigger in Microsoft Excel, thanks for letting the Community know!
