The Scenario
You're an operations consultant mid-engagement with a 30-person company that just decided to adopt Baserow for their project tracking. Your client wants to see what's available before committing to building from scratch, and they've asked for a spreadsheet they can share with two department heads before the decision call Friday.
You have Baserow credentials. You have a blank Excel workbook. You've never needed to catalog Baserow's template library before, and you're not about to click through the UI one template at a time and manually type names and descriptions into cells.
The bad version:
- Open the Baserow template gallery, click the first template, read the name and category, type them into the workbook, go back
- Click the next template, realize you're not sure whether to record the workspace ID from the URL or from a separate metadata field, make a guess, continue
- Finish thirty templates, discover there are two more pages you didn't see, go back and add them, then notice the category column is inconsistent because you abbreviated "Project Management" in six rows and spelled it out in four others
A consultant who has a decision call on Friday and two stakeholders waiting for a structured comparison doc cannot spend ninety minutes in a template gallery playing data-entry clerk. That time belongs to the analysis, not the collection.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the workbook and calls Baserow to fetch the full template library — then writes it out in whatever structure you need.
List all Baserow templates in my Excel sheet with columns: template name, category, description, workspace ID — sorted by category
What You Get
- Column A: template name
- Column B: category
- Column C: description
- Column D: workspace ID
- One row per template, sorted by category — covering the full library with no manual pagination
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
I need the results sorted by category so stakeholders can scan by department
Fetch all Baserow templates and write template name, category, description, and workspace ID to my workbook — sorted by category alphabetically, then by template name within each category
I only want templates in specific categories relevant to my client
Fetch all Baserow templates and filter to only those in the "Project Management" or "CRM" categories — write name, category, description, and workspace ID to the workbook, one row per template
The worksheet already has headers and I need to preserve formatting
My worksheet has formatted headers in row 1: Template Name, Category, Description, Workspace ID — fetch all Baserow templates and write the data starting at row 2, leaving the header row untouched
Full fetch + filter + stakeholder summary in one shot
Fetch all Baserow templates. Filter to categories relevant to project tracking and CRM. Write template name, category, and description to columns A, B, C — sorted by category. Then add a summary block below the table listing how many templates exist in each category.
The pattern is to let the prompt do the organizing — category filtering, sorting, and summarizing in a single request rather than fetching first and reformatting afterward.
Try It
Open a blank Excel workbook you'll use as the template evaluation doc, then get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and ask it to pull the full Baserow template library sorted by category.
