The Scenario
You are a data engineering lead. The tracking-plan review is next week. Your Amplitude project has 120 event types across three product lines, and nobody agrees on which events are actively used, which are deprecated, and which were never documented.
Your job: pull all 120 events and their metadata into an Excel workbook so the team can audit them before the review.
The slow version:
- Open Amplitude, navigate to the Data tab
- The event list is paginated with no clean export button for the specific columns the review template needs
- Use Amplitude's export, get a CSV with the wrong column structure for the workbook
- Spend two hours reformatting into the Event Audit tab layout
- The review starts and half the workbook is still wrong.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI connects to Amplitude's Event Types API and writes the full taxonomy into the Event Audit tab in one pass.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Fetch all event types from Amplitude and write event name, category, description, owner, and status into columns A–E of the Event Audit tab. Add a header row.
SheetXAI calls the Amplitude Data API, pulls all 120 events, and writes the structured table. The review team has a complete event list before the meeting.
What You Get
A complete event taxonomy table in the Event Audit tab:
- Column A — event name (all 120, one per row)
- Column B — event category from Amplitude's taxonomy
- Column C — event description from the Amplitude data dictionary
- Column D — event owner (if set in Amplitude)
- Column E — event status (live, planned, deprecated)
Every event in your Amplitude project is represented. If the status or description is blank, that is its own finding for the review.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Event taxonomy audits surface problems by design. SheetXAI handles enrichment and flagging in the same prompt.
When you need current-week usage volume alongside the metadata
The review needs to distinguish actively-fired events from documented-but-dormant ones.
Pull all event types from Amplitude and write the full taxonomy into columns A–E of the Event Audit tab. Add a column F with each event's total fire count for the current week. Sort by column F descending so the most active events appear first.
When you want to flag events with no description
Events without descriptions are the most common tracking-plan problem.
Fetch all Amplitude events and write the full taxonomy into columns A–E of the Event Audit tab. In column F, write "UNDOCUMENTED" for any event where the description is blank. Write the count of undocumented events into cell H1.
When you need to filter to a specific event category
The review this week covers only onboarding events. The full 120-event list is noise.
Fetch all event types from Amplitude and filter to only events in the 'Onboarding' category. Write event name, description, owner, and status into columns A–D of the Event Audit tab. Sort by event name ascending.
When you need the full taxonomy, usage data, undocumented flags, and a summary count all in one pass
The review template requires the audit table and a one-line tally.
Pull all event types from Amplitude. Write event name, category, description, owner, and status into columns A–E of the Event Audit tab. Add current-week fire count in column F. In column G, flag any event where description is blank as "UNDOCUMENTED" and any with zero fires this week as "DORMANT". Write a summary in cell I1: total events, total undocumented, total dormant.
The pattern: the API pull, enrichment, flagging, and summary count happen in one prompt. You walk into the tracking-plan review with an actionable audit table.
