Excel Integration & Workflow Automation
Run Excel on autopilot. Keep the veto.
54 actions
Spreadsheet changes fire before you've seen what the AI touched; Rills proposes every table update, column add, and export, and waits for your call.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential other action from Excel arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.

Export 3 workbooks to PDF and post to SharePoint folder?
3 workbooks match 'Q2 Final' naming pattern in drive
Same export ran last month without issues
Target folder is client-facing: verify figures first
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, no 3am stomach-drop wondering what shipped while you slept.
Routine cases graduate themselves.
Every approval feeds a confidence score for that exact workflow shape. The obvious cases (the ones you've green-lit fifty times) start running on their own. The judgment calls still come to you.
About Excel automation
A worksheet deleted, a table column overwritten, a PDF export sent to a SharePoint folder you didn't intend: Excel automation gone unsupervised leaves a short window between "the script ran" and "the damage is done."
When Excel runs unsupervised
Most Excel mistakes aren't dramatic. They're quiet overwrites and misfired exports that sit unnoticed until someone downstream asks why the numbers look wrong.
- Add Table Row fires duplicate entries into a reporting sheet before anyone checks the source data for conflicts.
- Delete Worksheet removes a tab that was still referenced by another workbook, breaking downstream calculations silently.
- Export Workbook to PDF pushes a draft version to a client-facing SharePoint folder before the final figures are confirmed.
- Apply Table Sort reorders rows mid-project and a formula using hard-coded cell references returns the wrong totals.
- Protect Worksheet locks a sheet with settings nobody agreed on, blocking a teammate from edits they needed to make.
What Rills does inside Excel
Rills watches for the moment an Excel action is ready to run, whether that's an Add Table Column call, a Merge Cells operation, or a full Export Workbook to PDF, and holds it for your review instead of letting it fire.
The export still happens; you just see exactly what's going out before it leaves.
Why Excel has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Excel doesn't emit events that can start a workflow on their own, so every automation needs something upstream to kick it off. Rills fills that gap with scheduled checks and connections to tools that do have events.
- Schedule a recurring check that calls Get Worksheet or Get Range on a cadence, then proposes an Add Table Row only when new data meets your criteria.
- Connect an upstream trigger from a form tool or CRM so that when a record changes there, Rills proposes the matching Add Table Column or Update Chart Legend in Excel for your approval.
- Run a timed List Drive Files scan to detect new workbooks in a folder and propose an Export Workbook to PDF for each one that matches a naming pattern you set.
- Use a scheduled List SharePoint Worksheets poll to catch new tabs added by collaborators and propose a Protect Worksheet action before those sheets go unguarded.
