Step-by-step guide to importing Podio Actions into Excel
Step 1: Install and connect Coefficient
First, you need to get Coefficient for Excel.
- Open Excel.
- Go to the Insert tab.
- Click on Get Add-ins.
- Search for “”Coefficient”” and install it from the Office Add-ins store.
- Once installed, open the Coefficient add-in from the Home tab or the Add-ins tab.
- In the Coefficient sidebar, click “”Import from…”” and find the Podio connector. You’ll be guided to log in and connect your Podio account.

Step 2: Import the Actions data
Now that you’re connected, let’s get the data.
- In the Coefficient sidebar, with Podio selected, choose to import from an **Object**.
- Find and select the “”Actions”” object from the list.
- Choose the specific fields you want to bring into Excel.
- Apply any filters or sorting needed for your data.
- Click the “”Import”” button.

Step 3: Set up auto-refresh (Optional)
Keep your Actions data current without manual effort.
- After your data is imported, look for the “”Refresh”” button in the Coefficient sidebar next to your import.
- Click the refresh options icon (usually a small clock or settings gear).
- Choose “”Schedule”” to set up automatic refreshes.
- Select how often you want the data to update (e.g., daily, hourly) and pick a time.
- Save your schedule. Your Actions data will now update on its own.
