Microsoft Excel Overview#

The Microsoft Excel API on Pipedream allows you to automate spreadsheet tasks, manipulate data, and integrate Excel with other apps and services. Through Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows that react to events, perform operations on Excel files like reading, writing, updating cells, and managing worksheets. This API turns Excel into a powerful tool for data analysis, report generation, and task automation without manual intervention.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Microsoft Excel	`microsoftExcel`	`app`	This component uses the Microsoft Excel app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

Microsoft Excel uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Microsoft Excel account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Microsoft Excel and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Microsoft Excel API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

User.Reademailoffline_accessopenidprofileFiles.ReadWriteFiles.Read.AllUser.ReadCrossTenantInformation.ReadBasic.All

About Microsoft Excel#

You can use Microsoft Graph to allow web and mobile applications to read and modify Excel workbooks stored in OneDrive for Business, SharePoint site or Group drive.

Azure OpenAI Service Overview#

The Azure OpenAI Service API provides access to powerful AI models that can understand and generate human-like text. With Pipedream, you can harness this capability to create a variety of serverless workflows, automating tasks like content creation, code generation, and language translation. By integrating the API with other apps on Pipedream, you can streamline processes, analyze sentiment, and even automate customer support.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Azure OpenAI Service	`azureOpenAI`	`app`	This component uses the Azure OpenAI Service app.
Text	`text`	`string`	The text to summarize
Summary Length	`length`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`wordsentenceparagraphpage`
Temperature	`temperature`	`string`	What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.
N	`n`	`integer`	How many completions to generate
Stream	`stream`	`boolean`	If set, partial message deltas will be sent, like in ChatGPT. Tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message.
Stop	`stop`	`string`	Up to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens.
Max Tokens	`maxTokens`	`integer`	The maximum number of tokens allowed for the generated answer. By default, the number of tokens the model can return will be (4096 - prompt tokens).
Presence Penalty	`presencePenalty`	`string`	Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far, increasing the model's likelihood to talk about new topics.
Frequency Penalty	`frequencyPenalty`	`string`	Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far, decreasing the model's likelihood to repeat the same line verbatim.
User	`user`	`string`	A unique identifier representing your end-user, which can help Azure OpenAI to monitor and detect abuse.

Action Authentication#

Azure OpenAI Service uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Azure OpenAI Service account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Azure OpenAI Service APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Before you start, you'll need to deploy a model in the Azure OpenAI Service.

Once that's done, enter the name of your Azure OpenAI resource, the deployment name you chose when you deployed the model, and your Azure OpenAI key below.
