Questions about this workflow

Will the automation convert a spreadsheet URL?

The conversion action accepts a local upload or URL. The workflow needs the submitted file to be accessible in one of those ways.

Does it support non-Excel submissions?

The action converts Excel files to CSV, so the prompt should limit conversion to matching files.
