# Airtable to Excel scheduled reports | Ilka

For ops and finance teams that keep source data in Airtable but need board-ready Excel deliverables on a fixed cadence.

## Why teams use this

Airtable is great for operational data, but stakeholders still expect Excel. Manual export-and-format cycles waste hours every month.

## How Ilka connects

Authorize read-only access with a personal access token, map your base into the same improve-style prompt pipeline, and schedule cron delivery.

- Encrypted token storage
- Reusable prompt recipes per report pack
- Email, signed webhook, or Drive delivery

## Best-fit workflows

Monthly close packs, grant reporting, KPI summaries, and client deliverables where the output must stay in .xlsx format.

- SMB finance monthly close
- Nonprofit grant trackers
- Agency client reporting

## Example schedule

Every Monday at 9:00 AM — pull budget base, run board summary prompt, email .xlsx to leadership.

## Example schedule

Finance teams often run a monthly close pack on the 1st business day, while ops teams refresh KPI packs every Monday morning.

- Monthly: grant reporting for nonprofits
- Weekly: ops KPI summary for leadership
- Bi-weekly: agency client status pack

## Delivery options

The same Airtable schedule can email stakeholders, POST a signed webhook payload, upload to Google Drive, or expose a recipient portal link on Agency.
