- Add an Excel step as shown below (“Add a row”). It will display the fields it finds in the table you specified. In my example I have a table with three columns : Email Received Date, Subject, Sender’s Name. You type the Dynamic Content item in that pop up box as per Fig 4., below. Click the Gmail item that appears. This will add itself to your “Add a row into a table” form, as per Fig 3. Repeat for other table fields.
