Once logged in, you will arrive at the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate a new automation workflow. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘MS Excel to Telegram’, and click on ‘Create’ to proceed with setting up the integration.

2. Setting Up Microsoft Excel Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you’ll configure the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. In the trigger section, search for ‘Microsoft Excel’ and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Row in Worksheet’ to monitor any new entries in your Excel spreadsheet.

• Select ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Microsoft Excel account with Pabbly Connect.
• Authorize the connection by selecting your Microsoft account and clicking ‘Yes’ to grant permissions.
• Choose the specific workbook and worksheet you want to monitor for new rows.

After these selections, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the connection is working correctly. You should see the data from the first row of your selected worksheet displayed in Pabbly Connect, confirming that the trigger setup is successful.

3. Configuring Telegram Action in Pabbly Connect

Next, you’ll set up the action that will send messages via Telegram using Pabbly Connect. In the action section, search for ‘Telegram’ and select it. From the action event dropdown, choose ‘Send a Text Message’. This action will allow you to send messages to your designated Telegram group.

To connect your Telegram account, click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to create a Telegram bot using the BotFather on Telegram. After creating the bot, copy the access token provided by the BotFather and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

• Ensure your bot is added to the Telegram group where you want to send messages.
• Promote the bot to admin within the group for it to send messages.

After setting up the bot, you will need to provide the chat ID of your Telegram group. You can find this by opening your group in Telegram and checking the URL for the numbers following the last slash. Paste this chat ID into Pabbly Connect.

4. Mapping Data and Sending Messages

Now that you have configured both the trigger and action, it’s time to map the data from Microsoft Excel to your Telegram message using Pabbly Connect. In the message body field, start composing your message. For example, you can write, ‘Hello [Name], you have a new task: [Task Name]. Due date: [Due Date]’.

To map the data, click on the relevant fields and select the corresponding values from the Excel data received in the trigger step. This will personalize the message for each new entry in your Excel sheet.

Ensure that you have selected the correct options for notifications and link previews based on your preference. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to see if the message is sent successfully to your Telegram group.

Check your Telegram group to confirm that the message appears as expected. This will indicate that your automation is functioning correctly!

5. Understanding the Automation Process with Pabbly Connect

With the automation set up, it’s important to understand how Pabbly Connect handles the integration process. The trigger will check for new data in your Microsoft Excel worksheet every eight hours, ensuring that any new tasks added will trigger a message in Telegram.

This setup allows for seamless communication with your team without manual intervention. Whenever a new row is added to your Excel sheet, a message will automatically be sent to your Telegram group, keeping everyone informed and updated.
