Hey there… Has anyone already struggled with this type of integration?

What I want is to send a .CSV to Make and then download a .XLS file in order to do that I have been doing this:

**In Glide**

**In Make**

Once I get the .CSV file which are the following steps to convert the CSV to an Excel?

Thanks

Have you tried adding a CloudConvert module? That’s the first thing I think of, maybe others will have alternatives.

Thanks I did not know the convert cloud module, so now that I have the temporary url with the Excel how can I insert that URL into a Glide field in order to see or download the file?

With a make a request module?

I think you must first upload the file to a folder in your Google Drive, then pass the Google Drive file URL/ID back to your Glide data using the HTTP module.

I’m curious - why go to all this trouble when you could simply open the CSV file with Excel?

I haven’t tried this, but maybe you can check this invitation link and bring the data back to Glide using a Glide module.

Thank you! pray Otherwise: We’re working on [an improved Make integration](https://www.make.com/en/hq/app-invitation/df4aacc3249174b7dba55ef182d9ecd4) for working with data in Glide Tables.

If that doesn’t work, try a HTTP request and let us know if you get stuck.

Also, beware if the CloudConvert URL expires.

CloudConvert provides a file URL so there is no need to upload to google drive, I just need a step by step on how to upload and storage the cloud convert url into glide via http request, I didn´t find any tutorial about how to insert data into glide via API

Please check my reply above again for the Make integration module.

If that doesn’t work, check the Set Columns section here.
