The Scenario
It's the end of a campaign quarter and your digital marketing coordinator — the one who managed all the Cutt.ly links for the last three months — just handed off to a new person. The new coordinator is looking at a Cutt.ly account with dozens of short links and no documentation of what each one points to or when it was created.
Leadership wants a campaign archive. Not a screenshot. A proper Excel workbook with short URL, destination, and date created, so the next team can do attribution lookups against it.
The bad version:
- Log into Cutt.ly, scroll through the link list, click into each one to see the destination URL and creation date
- Copy the short URL, destination, and date from each link detail page into the Excel workbook by hand
- Realize after thirty rows that the dates are in a different format than what the archive template expects and go back to reformat them
Nobody hired a digital marketing coordinator to manually transcribe link metadata out of a dashboard. The archive is going to leadership next week and it needs to be complete, not half-done because the manual export ran out of time.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your workbook, understands what you're building, and through its Cutt.ly integration it can pull your recent link history and write it directly into your workbook with the column layout you specify.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and paste this:
Export my recent Cutt.ly link history into my Excel sheet — short URL in column A, destination URL in column B, date created in column C
What You Get
- Column A fills with your Cutt.ly short links, most recent first
- Column B has the full destination URL each short link points to
- Column C has the creation date for each link
- The workbook updates as far back as the Cutt.ly API returns records for your account
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The dates in column C are coming in ISO format but the archive template wants MM/DD/YYYY
Pull my recent Cutt.ly link history into this workbook — short URL in column A, destination URL in column B, date created in column C formatted as MM/DD/YYYY
You only want links created during a specific campaign window — say, between March 1 and May 31
Pull my Cutt.ly link history and write into this workbook only links created between March 1, 2026 and May 31, 2026 — short URL in column A, destination URL in column B, date created in column C
The workbook already has some rows from a previous export and you want to append only new links without duplicating what's already there
Pull my recent Cutt.ly links and add any that aren't already in column A of this workbook — write short URL in column A, destination URL in column B, date created in column C, starting from the first empty row
You want the full archive plus a summary sheet that shows how many links were created per month
Pull all available Cutt.ly link history into the "Link Archive" worksheet — short URL in column A, destination URL in column B, date created in column C — then in the "Summary" worksheet write a count of links created per calendar month, with month in column A and count in column B
Pull, organize, and summarize — one prompt covers all three steps.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any Excel workbook you're using as a campaign or link registry, then ask it to pull your Cutt.ly link history with whatever columns and date format your archive requires. You can also check the bulk-shortening spoke if you need to go the other direction and create new short links from a column of long URLs.
