Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Microsoft Excel as the trigger app and "New row" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Benchmark Rate API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second Microsoft Excel action for "Add row" and map the returned fields (like rate) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Microsoft Excel module set to "New row". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/benchmarkrate with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Microsoft Excel module for "Add row". Map fields like data.rate into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.
