Is this possible? Building a live database in excel using Zotero
Hi all,
I'm working on a team research project and I'm trying to build an excel database of literature/documents that can be shared with multiple different teams who do not use Zotero (thus, can't use the shared folder feature in Zotero). As a heavy Zotero, user, however, I'm interested if there's a way that the document name, tags, and link could be automatically exported to a CSV/Excel-compatible format so that every time I save something using the Connector it creates an entry into the spreadsheet without having to manually do so. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

For something more advanced you'd probably need some more serious scripting (like a cron job running an API bridge between the two).
Just to make sure, though -- you're aware that Zotero can export data as CSV, right? So getting new items out in table format is easy.
