Track changes and approvals in Excel 365

📌 Overview

This workflow monitors an Excel 365 sheet every minute and detects new, updated, and deleted rows using a unique ID column. It compares the current dataset with the previous snapshot and identifies field-level differences.

When changes are detected, the workflow filters rows that require approval (Status = “Waiting Approval”), sends structured notifications, and optionally logs every field-level change into an audit sheet (Excel or Google Sheets).

The configuration layer allows you to define the ID column, ignored fields, and audit logging behavior without modifying the comparison logic.

This template is suitable for approval tracking, operational monitoring, and lightweight compliance logging.

How it works 1. Runs every minute using a schedule trigger 2. Reads rows from Excel 365 3. Normalizes and stores a snapshot 4. Compares with the previous state 5. Detects new, updated, and deleted rows 6. Filters rows with “Waiting Approval” status 7. Sends structured notifications 8. Logs changes if audit logging is enabled

Setup steps 1. Configure Microsoft Excel credentials 2. Ensure your sheet contains a unique ID column 3. Update the Environment Config node 4.(Optional) Configure Google Sheets credentials for audit logging 5. Activate the workflow
