In this example, we’ll build a flow to pass a Tweet text in an Excel file. First of all, we need a cloud service where we are going to create a file in Excel (in this case, OneDrive), a Microsoft account, and a Twitter account.
Now, go build your first flow.
- Connect with the URL.
- Login to Service.
- Now, we are at our own Home Page.
- Click on My flows.
- Now, we are ready to create our first flow. Click on “Create from blank”.
- Now, search for “Twitter – When a new tweet is posted” into the list.
- Write the parameter (the key to filter the tweets).
- Now, we’ll choose the second step of the logic.
- Choose the target service “Excel – Insert row”.
- Now, we have to configure the last step of the logic.
- Choose the target Excel file positioned in One Drive.
- Select the table into the file.
- Specify the content to insert into the column of the Excel table.
- Now, we’ll confirm the flow creation with an “ad-hoc” name.
- Now, we can see the new flow in the list.
- To control the state of the flow activity we have created, click on the “i”.
It’s important that the target Excel file is in a cloud service and that the table into the file is correctly created.
If we have worked correctly, we’ll see an output like the following.
