Hi,
We have an excel file in shared network drive (x drive) which we need to update as per some business logic in Appian. We dont need the file to be stored in Appian. Is there any way (eg. plug-in function / smart service / connected system), through which we can update the remote excel file?
Thanks,
Sudip

RPA can kind of do network share edits, but there aren't always easy references in an Excel sheet for the robot to identify where to insert information. In other words, it could be worth exploring, but it could also be extremely prone to breaking if the Excel sheet structure changes at all.
Appian 25.2 has a new component plugin for Microsoft 365 document editing, here. A user must do the editing, which might be a reasonable compromise depending on the workflow.
