Use flows with Excel for the web
Integrate Power Automate with Excel for the web to automate repetitive tasks, reduce errors, and improve productivity. For example, you can track customer feedback, manage projects, or analyze data. By connecting Excel to apps and services such as SharePoint, Teams, and Planner, Power Automate can make collaboration and data sharing across different platforms seem effortless.

Here are some of the prebuilt templates that you can use in Excel for the web:
- Monitor incoming emails to an alias in an Excel worksheet
