Let's Create a Flow to Update Microsoft Excel Information Based on Google Form Content!
Now, let's actually create a flow to update Microsoft Excel information based on Google Form content!
This time, we'll proceed with the setup using Yoom without any coding. If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please issue one from the registration form here.
[What is Yoom]
<span class="mark-yellow">This time, we will create a flow bot to update Microsoft Excel information based on Google Form content!</span>
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps:
Integrate Google Form and Microsoft Excel with My Apps
Copy the template
Set up triggers and actions
Set the trigger to ON and complete the preparation for flow operation
Step 1: Register My Apps for Google Forms and Microsoft Excel
First, register My Apps for Google Forms and Microsoft Excel.
Click "Add" on the right from My Apps.
Enter "Google Forms" in the search window from the app list and click.
Sign in to your Google account.
Select the account you want to link.
When the following screen appears, proceed to the next step.
When "Google Forms" appears in My Apps, registration is complete!
Register My Apps for Microsoft Excel
After clicking "Add," search for "Microsoft Excel" from the app list.
Next, sign in to your Microsoft account.
* There are personal and business plans (Microsoft 365 Business) for "Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)." If you do not have a business plan, authentication from Yoom may not work properly, so please be careful.
First, enter your address.
Enter your password.
When "Microsoft Excel" appears in My Apps, registration is complete!
Step 2: About Copying the Template
We will create the flow from here, so first, please copy the template.
Click "Try it" on the banner below.
Once the template is copied, the following screen will appear.
Click "OK" to proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Setting the App Trigger
First, set up the app trigger.
Click "When a response is submitted to the form".
When the following screen appears, check your account information, make any necessary title corrections, and then proceed.
Next, set up the API connection. The trigger interval setting determines how often the trigger will activate. You can set it to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. Select your preferred interval from the dropdown menu.
However, the shortest interval you can set depends on the plan you are using, so be sure to check this!
Generally, the shortest activation interval for your plan is recommended.
Below that, enter the Google Form ID.
Once the settings are complete, submit a test response to the specified form and conduct a test. (An error will occur if you test without submitting a form response.)
The following retrieved value will be used in the subsequent settings. By using this, you can automatically reflect the Google Form responses in Microsoft Excel! To do this, you need to set up the "JSON Path" to specify which data to use.
It may seem difficult, but just follow the on-screen instructions to set it up. Once ready, click "Save" to proceed to the next step.
Step 4: Update the Record
Next, click "Operate the database".
Next, set up the database integration.
Check the account information for integration. For the action to execute, select "Update Record" as shown on the screen below.
You can select the file storage location from the dropdown menu.
Choose between OneDrive and SharePoint. Select the one you usually use. In this case, OneDrive was selected.
Select the Drive ID from the options. It will be saved in the specified OneDrive folder.
Next, the Item ID.
Select the target Microsoft Excel from the options.
Select the sheet name for the target sheet.
Enter the table range.
This is the range of the Microsoft Excel sheet. Once set, proceed to the next step.
Next, detailed settings for database operations.
Add the conditions for the record you want to update. Select the conditions for the record you want to update from the dropdown menu.
In this case, we will update the contract date on the customer sheet.
To match the company name in the column of the Microsoft Excel sheet you want to update, select the company name for the left column.
Settings may vary depending on the use case, so please be aware of this.
For the right column, enter the company name from the retrieved values.
Next, the value of the record after the update.
The value of the record after the update refers to the value to be updated in Microsoft Excel.
Since we are updating the contract date on the customer sheet, enter the update date as the value of the record after the update. Enter the retrieved value for the contract date.
Conduct a test.
After a successful test, check if the information in Microsoft Excel has been updated.
If the information has been updated, it's OK!
Step 5: Automating Flowbot Settings
When the following screen appears, click "Turn on Trigger".
This completes all the settings!

What is Yoom hyperautomation?
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
