Hey everyone,

 

I keep having this issue with Excel file on Sharepoint - When I edit the zap, the connection works fine and the test pass with not issue, but when it is running, I keep getting the error and nothing is being updated in my spreadsheet.

 

I looked through the articles, but nothing helps.

Hi @IWBCryo 

Good question.

Please post detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured in order for us to have more context.

Here are some screenshots of my Zap.

 

So the trigger works - shopify - paid order

I just filter and format - no error here

Excel - says it is connected and I have the file in the default sharepoint site, so it has access and per the screenshots, it shows the folder, the file and it has access. Then testing the zap - works fine. 

Then - I just sent an email as notification.

 

The zap history says it runs all the steps, except for the Excel, that keeps saying the recourse is not found…

This may be why…

I'm not able to connect my Microsoft Excel account?

We only support OneDrive for business right now - as the Excel API comes out of beta status we expect to support any version of Excel online.
Personal Outlook accounts do not work unfortunately!

It could be that. I was also going by this. Assuming it will work, and that’s why I’m using the default Sharepoint site.

Hiya! I wanted to pop in the recommendations from the support ticket in case it’s helpful to anyone following along!

I'm curious if reselecting the folders would do the trick here:

If a file is moved at all between folders, there can be a disconnect. I do recommend starting here for troubleshooting. 
 
I would also recommend Sharing the connection with your team to ensure there aren't any permissions barriers here:

Hopefully this helps! 🤗
