How to Connect Adyntel to Excel (4 Methods Compared)

The Problem With Getting Workbook Data In and Out of Adyntel

You have an Excel workbook full of competitor domains, prospect accounts, or product keywords. You need Adyntel's ad creative intelligence — LinkedIn copy, Meta creatives, Google Display formats, TikTok hooks — landed in that workbook without opening a browser, querying each domain manually, and transcribing results one row at a time.

Adyntel is good at surfacing ad intelligence across LinkedIn, Meta, Google, and TikTok from a single API call per domain. But connecting that API to your workbook is, by default, your problem to solve. The usual flow is exporting a CSV of your domain list, querying Adyntel separately, and pasting whatever comes back into the right rows by hand.

Below are the four common ways teams handle this. Only the last one scales.

Method 1: Manual Copy-Paste

The default. Export your domain list, open Adyntel, query each domain, copy the ad data into the corresponding row in your workbook. For three domains this is fine. For thirty, the column alignment starts drifting. For eighty, you're not finishing before end of day — and you've probably introduced errors you won't catch until someone reads the deck.

The specific issue with Adyntel data isn't just volume. Each domain returns a variable number of ads, with fields that don't map cleanly to a fixed column structure. Every domain is a small editorial decision about what goes in column C vs. column D. Multiply that by a full prospect list and you've spent the better part of a morning on data entry that has nothing to do with the analysis itself.

Method 2: Power Automate

Power Automate has Adyntel connector options. You can wire up a trigger on a new Excel row, call the Adyntel API for that domain, and write the response fields back into adjacent columns.

Quick check — are you comfortable configuring HTTP connectors, authentication tokens, and field mappings inside Power Automate? Do you know what a REST endpoint is? If those feel unfamiliar, skip to Method 3 or 4. This path rewards builders, not analysts.

If you're still here: setup involves authenticating to Adyntel's API, choosing the right endpoint for each ad platform, mapping response fields to your column letters, and building error handling for domains with no active ads. The flow works once it's configured.

But it fires one row at a time.

Pulling ad data for 100 domains means 100 separate API calls, 100 trigger fires, and a run history that becomes unreadable when row 57 returns an empty response and three rows after it fail silently.

You probably just need the ad headlines and body copy for every domain in your workbook. You probably have no idea how to build a Power Automate flow with a REST connector — and that's not a gap you should have to close just to audit a competitor list. So you either learn the tool yourself, or you hand the request to whoever on your team builds these flows. And then you wait.

And once you need to filter by ad format, score by estimated spend, or join against a second worksheet, you've exceeded what a row trigger can natively handle.

Method 3: The Previous Generation — Connector Add-Ons

Until recently, the best option for repeatable workbook ↔ Adyntel workflows was a category of add-ons that let you manually configure column mappings and saved templates. You picked your range, tagged your fields, saved a config, ran it.

That was a real step up from copy-paste. Output was consistent, configs were reusable, and the team didn't have to redo the column mapping every run.

But you were still responsible for the template design, the field mapping, the schedule, and the conditional logic about which domains to include. The tool moved the data, but the thinking stayed on you. And when someone renamed the "Domain" column to "Website URL," your config broke until someone went back and fixed it.

This is the previous generation. It worked, but it asked a lot of the operator.

The Easy Way: Using SheetXAI in Excel

There is a different way entirely. SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the workbook, understands what you're looking at, and through its built-in Adyntel integration it can pull LinkedIn, Meta, Google, or TikTok ad data for every domain in your list. No template configuration, no automation glue, no copying results by hand. You just ask.

Example 1: Bulk LinkedIn ad audit for a competitor list

Pull LinkedIn ads for every domain in column A and write the ad headline, body copy, and format into columns B, C, and D

The result: one row per domain, three columns populated with the most recent active LinkedIn creative data. Domains with no active ads get a clear note in the row rather than a blank you'd have to investigate later.

Example 2: Flagging long-running creatives across domains

For each company domain in column A, fetch their LinkedIn ads from Adyntel, add the number of active ads in column E, and flag any ad that appears to have been running longer than 60 days as 'evergreen' in column F

The pattern: instead of pulling data first and then scoring it, you ask for both in one prompt. SheetXAI handles the conditional logic inline.

Try It

Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any Excel workbook with a list of competitor domains, then ask it to pull ad creatives from Adyntel for every row. The Adyntel integration is included in every SheetXAI plan.
