Export a Full Byteforms Account Inventory Into a Excel workbook

The Scenario

You're a digital project manager who just took over a client account. The previous PM left a Byteforms account with forty forms built over two years. Nobody documented which forms are still active, which ones have submission caps that are almost full, which ones are password-protected, or which ones haven't received a submission in six months.

The client asked for a "quick audit" in your onboarding call last week. It's been a week.

The bad version:

  • Log into Byteforms, click each form one by one, open its settings panel, write down the public ID, field count, submission limit, and deadline in a running Notes doc
  • Repeat thirty-nine more times, losing your place at least twice and discovering at form 22 that you forgot to note whether form 8 was password-protected

Forty forms at two minutes each is an hour and twenty minutes of clicking, and the result is a document that will be out of date the moment anyone creates a new form.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook. It can call the Byteforms API, retrieve configuration details for every form in the account, and write a structured audit table in one pass.

Audit all Byteforms forms in this account and create a summary table with one row per form showing its key configuration settings

What You Get

  • One row per Byteforms form in the account
  • Columns for Form ID, Public ID, Name, Field Count, Submission Limit, Deadline, and Is Password Protected
  • All 40 forms in a single output — no pagination, no manual lookup
  • A workbook you can sort, filter, and share with the client immediately

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

You need to flag forms where the submission limit is close to full

The client wants to know if any active forms are about to hit their cap, so you can raise the limit before registrations start bouncing.

List all my Byteforms forms with Form ID, Name, Submission Limit, and current submission count — flag any form where submissions are within 10% of the limit by writing 'NEAR LIMIT' in a Status column

Some forms have no deadline and you need to separate them

Evergreen forms behave differently from deadline-gated ones. Your audit should separate the two groups.

List all my Byteforms forms and write Form ID, Name, Deadline, and Submission Limit to this workbook — if the Deadline field is blank, write 'Evergreen' in the Deadline column instead

You need to join form metadata with a separate submissions count sheet

You have a sheet called "Submission Counts" with form IDs and manual counts from last quarter. You want to see which forms have grown and by how much.

List all Byteforms forms and write their metadata to 'Form Inventory', then look up each Form ID in the Submission Counts sheet and write the previous count to column H and calculate the growth in column I

The kill chain: full audit with flags for client review

List all Byteforms forms and write Form ID, Public ID, Name, Field Count, Submission Limit, Deadline, and Is Password Protected to this workbook — flag any form within 10% of its submission limit as 'NEAR LIMIT' in column H, mark forms with no deadline as 'Evergreen' in the Deadline column, and sort the results by Submission Limit descending

Inventory, risk flags, and sort order in one prompt — the client gets a document that's already organized.
