Excel in the conversation.

Microsoft Excel is a powerful spreadsheet application for data analysis, calculations, and visualization, enabling users to organize and process data with formulas, charts, and pivot tables. Connect it once and your copilot works in it directly without leaving the thread — and your workflows can act on it while the customer is still typing.

Docs & knowledge
01 · COPILOT

Ask for it in plain language. It does the Excel part.

Copilot rides inside the inbox. With Excel connected it works there from the same panel as the conversation — no second tab, no copying an order number across.

  • Add Chart
  • Add Table
  • Get Range
  • Sort Range
  • Clear Range
  • List Charts

What a specific connection exposes is decided by Excel, not by us: Settings → Apps lists the real tools your connection carries, each with its own switch.

02 · WORKFLOWS

Read Excel from inside a workflow.

Excel is a place a workflow looks things up rather than one that starts it. Trigger on a conversation, a schedule or another app's event, then use an AI Agent step to work in Excel and hand the answer to the steps that follow — a message, a CRM update, an escalation.

If Excel does publish events to your workspace, they appear in the trigger picker the moment the connection is made.

03 · THE AI AGENT STEP

One step that decides which Excel tools to call.

A workflow's AI Agent step runs a bounded tool-calling loop over the apps you have connected and returns an object whose fields you declared. So "find the record, check the status, and give me status and owner" is one step rather than four — and the fields it returns are available to every step after it.

You declare the output

The rows you name become the variables downstream steps read, so a branch can test what Excel said.

You cap the effort

A step budget and a model tier per node — the loop stops where you told it to.

Only what you switched on

The loop can call the Excel tools you left enabled and nothing else.

Setup

Connect Excel in about a minute.

  1. 1

    Open Settings → Apps

    It is open to everyone in your organization, not just admins — which apps your copilot can reach is part of doing the job.

  2. 2

    Find Excel in Browse

    The catalogue runs to hundreds of apps and is searchable. Connect Excel from its card.

  3. 3

    Authorize with your own Excel account

    You sign in on Excel's own screen and approve the access. The connection carries that account's permissions — no API keys are pasted into Cloodot.

  4. 4

    Choose the tools it may call

    Open the connection and switch off anything you would rather it never touched. A tool you switch off is out of reach from the next question onward.

Excel questions.

How do I connect Excel to Cloodot?
Open Settings → Apps in Cloodot, switch to Browse, and search for Excel. Connecting it opens Excel's own sign-in and consent screen; when you come back, the app is listed as Connected and your copilot can use it. Nothing is installed and no keys are pasted into Cloodot.
What can Cloodot do in Excel?
Work of this kind: add chart; add table; get range; sort range; clear range; list charts. The exact list depends on what your Excel account is allowed to do — Settings → Apps shows every tool the connection actually exposes.
Can I limit which Excel tools Cloodot may use?
Yes. Open the connection and every tool it exposes is a switch, searchable by name. A tool you switch off is out of reach from the next question onward, so a read-only Excel connection is a matter of leaving the writes off.
Can a workflow use Excel without a trigger from it?
Yes. Excel is read from inside a workflow rather than starting one: a workflow triggered by a conversation, a schedule or another app's event uses an AI Agent step to work in Excel and hand its answer to the steps that follow.
Who in my team can connect Excel?
Anyone in the organization — Apps is not restricted to admins and owners, because which apps a copilot can reach is part of doing the job. The connection carries the permissions of the Excel account that authorized it, so a docs & knowledge connection is only ever as broad as the account behind it.
