What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Import daily financial data directly into your analysis spreadsheets

Validate customer data entries against external databases in real-time

Build automated reports that pull the latest metrics from various APIs

Create inventory tracking sheets that sync with external systems

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

New row added in Excel Convert markdown column to image → write downloadURL and dimensions back to the row

Generate Images from Excel Data

When markdown is entered in an Excel row, generate an image and store the downloadURL and dimensions.

Scheduled periodic trigger Read pending markdown rows → generate images → update each row with downloadURL and format

Batch Image Generation from Excel

Process markdown entries in bulk from Excel and populate rows with the downloadURL and image format.

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 Markdown to Image 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 imageName) 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/markdowntoimage 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.imageName into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.
