Setting up Your Zapier Integration

Step 1: Create a New Zap

Navigate to your Zapier dashboard and click on the ‘Make a Zap!’ button.

Step 2: Choose Your Trigger App

Select the application that will trigger the data to be sent to Excel. This could be any app from Zapier's extensive list, like a form submission or a new email.

Inserting A Fixed Value

Step 4: Setup Action Template

In the action template, you'll define which Excel file and worksheet you want to use. Here is where you specify the fixed value.

• Under the 'field' you want the fixed value to go, type it directly in the 'Value' section.


• For multiple fixed values, repeat this process, making sure each column you want a fixed value in is accounted for.

Step 5: Test and Activate

Always test the Zap to make sure the data is being sent to the Excel file as expected. Once confirmed, activate the Zap and your fixed value will be automated.

Tips for Successful Integration

• Always verify that your Excel sheet is properly formatted to receive data.


• If you want to include dynamic data along with a fixed value, make sure to map those fields correctly from your trigger app.

By following these steps, you'll be able to seamlessly integrate a fixed value into your Excel spreadsheet with Zapier, saving you time and reducing manual entry errors.
