  title: Microsoft Excel Append a Row to a Table
  summary: Resolve a table on a worksheet, confirm its column shape, append a row, and read it back.
  description: >-
    The most common Excel integration of all: land a record from an external
    system as a new row in a structured table. The flow resolves the table by
    name on the target worksheet, reads the table's columns so the caller can
    confirm the values array is ordered and sized to match the header, appends
    the row at the end of the table, and lists the rows back to prove the append
    landed. Every step spells out its request inline so the flow can be read and
    executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI.

  summary: Append a single record to an Excel table and verify it was written.
  description: >-
    Finds the table on a worksheet, validates its column shape, posts a new row
    at the end of the table, and re-reads the rows to confirm.
  inputs:
    type: object
    required:
    - itemId
    - worksheetIdOrName
    - values
    properties:
      itemId:
        type: string
        description: The drive item id of the workbook file.
      worksheetIdOrName:
        type: string
        description: The worksheet holding the target table (e.g. "Sheet1").
      values:
        type: array
        description: >-
          A two-dimensional array holding the row to append, ordered to match
          the table's columns (e.g. [["Jan-15-2026", "49", "37"]]).
        items:
          type: array
          items: {}
  steps:
  - stepId: openSession
    description: >-
      Open a persisting session so the appended row is committed to the stored
      workbook rather than held in a transient calculation session.
    operationId: createWorkbookSession
    parameters:
    - name: item-id
      in: path
      value: $inputs.itemId
    requestBody:
      contentType: application/json
      payload:
        persistChanges: true
    successCriteria:
    - condition: $statusCode == 201
    outputs:
      sessionId: $response.body#/id
  - stepId: resolveTable
    description: >-
      List the tables on the worksheet and take the first one as the append
      target. The step fails closed if the worksheet carries no table.
    operationId: listTables
    parameters:
    - name: item-id
      in: path
      value: $inputs.itemId
    - name: worksheet-id-or-name
      in: path
      value: $inputs.worksheetIdOrName
    - name: workbook-session-id
      in: header
      value: $steps.openSession.outputs.sessionId
    successCriteria:
    - condition: $statusCode == 200
    - context: $response.body
      condition: $.value.length > 0
      type: jsonpath
    outputs:
      tableId: $response.body#/value/0/id
      tableName: $response.body#/value/0/name
  - stepId: confirmColumnShape
    description: >-
      Read the table's columns so the caller can confirm the row being appended
      has one value per column and in the same order. Excel rejects a row whose
      width does not match the table.
    operationId: listTableColumns
    parameters:
    - name: item-id
      in: path
      value: $inputs.itemId
    - name: table-id
      in: path
      value: $steps.resolveTable.outputs.tableId
    - name: workbook-session-id
      in: header
      value: $steps.openSession.outputs.sessionId
    successCriteria:
    - condition: $statusCode == 200
    outputs:
      columns: $response.body#/value
  - stepId: appendRow
    description: >-
      Append the row. Sending index as null tells Excel to add the row at the
      end of the table rather than inserting it at a position.
    operationId: addTableRow
    parameters:
    - name: item-id
      in: path
      value: $inputs.itemId
    - name: table-id
      in: path
      value: $steps.resolveTable.outputs.tableId
    - name: workbook-session-id
      in: header
      value: $steps.openSession.outputs.sessionId
    requestBody:
      contentType: application/json
      payload:
        values: $inputs.values
        index: null
    successCriteria:
    - condition: $statusCode == 201
    outputs:
      rowIndex: $response.body#/index
      rowValues: $response.body#/values
  - stepId: verifyRow
    description: >-
      List the table rows back so the caller can confirm the appended row is
      present at the index Excel reported.
    operationId: listTableRows
    parameters:
    - name: item-id
      in: path
      value: $inputs.itemId
    - name: table-id
      in: path
      value: $steps.resolveTable.outputs.tableId
    - name: workbook-session-id
      in: header
      value: $steps.openSession.outputs.sessionId
    successCriteria:
    - condition: $statusCode == 200
    outputs:
      rows: $response.body#/value
  outputs:
    tableId: $steps.resolveTable.outputs.tableId
    tableName: $steps.resolveTable.outputs.tableName
    rowIndex: $steps.appendRow.outputs.rowIndex
    rows: $steps.verifyRow.outputs.rows
