Audit Failed Browserbase Sessions Into a Excel workbook for Debugging

The Scenario

Your automation suite ran over the weekend. Monday morning you open the Browserbase dashboard and there are 23 sessions with ERROR status. Nobody set up alerting. The sessions ran, some failed, and the logs are sitting there waiting for someone to dig through them.

You don't have a systematic way to look at these. You click through three sessions, read the logs in the UI, go back, click the next one. By session five you've lost track of whether session two and session four had the same root cause.

The bad version:

  • You export what you can from the dashboard — which gives you a session list but not the logs.
  • You write a script to loop through the session IDs, hit the logs endpoint for each, and parse the output.
  • You paste the results into a workbook, realize the timestamps are in different formats across sessions, and spend 30 minutes normalizing the column before you can sort by time.

The logs exist. The failure patterns exist. Getting them into a format where you can actually reason across all 23 at once is the bottleneck — and it's costing you a morning.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your workbook, connects to Browserbase Tool, and pulls session data and logs directly into your rows — filtered, structured, and ready to analyze. No scripts. No API gymnastics. You just ask.

Export all completed and errored Browserbase sessions from the past 7 days into my "Failed Sessions" worksheet with their session ID, status, start time, duration, and associated project ID in columns A through E.

What You Get

After running that prompt:

  • Column A contains the Browserbase session ID for each session.
  • Column B contains the session status — "ERROR" or "COMPLETED".
  • Column C contains the session start time in ISO 8601 format.
  • Column D contains the session duration in seconds.
  • Column E contains the associated project ID.
  • Sessions are written one per row starting at row 2, with headers in row 1.

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

You want both ERRORED and COMPLETED sessions — compare pass/fail rates side by side

List all Browserbase sessions from the past 7 days with status "ERROR" or "COMPLETED". Write session ID, status, start time, duration, and project ID into columns A through E of my "Session Audit" worksheet. Sort by start time descending.

The log summary isn't enough — you need the full first error message, not a condensed version

List all Browserbase sessions with status "ERROR" from the past 7 days. For each session, fetch the logs and extract the full text of the first error entry. Write session ID, start time, and the full first error message into columns A, B, and C of my "Error Detail" worksheet.

You want to group by project — see which project is generating the most failures

List all Browserbase sessions with status "ERROR" from the past 7 days. Group the results by project ID. For each group, write the project ID in column A, the count of failed sessions in column B, and the most recent failure start time in column C of my "Project Failures" worksheet.

Run a full failure audit in one shot — pull errored sessions, fetch logs, summarize each, and flag any that share a common error pattern

List all Browserbase sessions with status "ERROR" from the past 7 days. For each session, fetch the logs, extract the first error message, and write session ID, start time, project ID, and the first error message into columns A through D of my "Failure Audit" worksheet. Then scan column D and add a "PATTERN" label in column E if the same error phrase appears in more than one session — use the repeated phrase as the label.

The whole audit — data pull, log extraction, and pattern detection — runs from a single prompt.
