⚡How to access your Excel data with a URL using Make 📊💻⚡

Tutorial Alert!

Dive into this amazing short tutorial by Tiny Automations where we explore using Make as an API for fetching data from Microsoft Excel 365.

Our mission? — Cook up a Make setup to fetch the latest Excel sheet row as a JSON gem.

Here's the recipe: Whip up a four-node Make setup and set a web hook to grab that URL and pluck the last row from our Excel masterpiece.

Then, flex those Microsoft Graph Explorer muscles to craft a query for the subscribers sheet's final row.

And for the cherry on top, we'll set up a web hook response to dish out our Excel's last-row data, even outside the spreadsheet!
