The Scenario
You're a market researcher and the client wants 12 localized CSAT surveys — one per country — launched in Formbricks by end of week. The survey names and first question text are already organized in an Excel workbook: country in column A, question text in column B, survey type in column C.
The Formbricks UI doesn't have a bulk create option. You'd have to build each survey one at a time: name it, add the question, set the type, save, move to the next one.
The bad version:
- Create survey number 1 in the Formbricks UI — enter the name, add the question, select the survey type, save
- Repeat for surveys 2 through 12, context-switching between the workbook and the Formbricks form for each one
- On survey 7, realize you selected the wrong survey type for survey 4, go back and fix it
- Spend two hours on a task that should have been a five-minute data operation
This is the kind of work that feels small until you're doing it for the twelfth time.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the column layout, understands what you have, and through its built-in Formbricks integration it can create all 12 surveys in one operation from a single prompt.
Create a Formbricks survey for each row in my sheet using column A as the survey name, column B as the first question text, and column C as the survey type — write the returned survey ID into column D
What You Get
- 12 surveys created in Formbricks, one per row
- Column D filled with the Formbricks survey ID for each new survey
- If a row fails — invalid survey type, missing question text — column D shows an ERROR note for that row and the rest continue
- Survey IDs are live and clickable in Formbricks immediately after the prompt completes
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The survey names follow a naming template
Instead of free-text names in column A, you want each survey automatically named "CSAT Survey — [Country]" using the country value from column A.
For each country in column A of my Excel sheet, create a Formbricks survey using the name template 'CSAT Survey — [Country]' and write the returned survey ID into column B
Some question text cells are blank
A few rows in column B are empty because the localized question text hasn't been confirmed yet. You want those skipped rather than creating surveys with blank questions.
Create a Formbricks survey for each row in my sheet where column B is not blank — use column A as the survey name, column B as the first question text, and column C as the survey type — write the survey ID into column D or "SKIPPED" if column B was empty
You need two questions per survey, not one
The client spec calls for a rating question and an open-text follow-up. Columns B and C hold the two question texts; column D holds the survey type.
Create a Formbricks survey for each row in my sheet using column A as the survey name, column B as the first question text (rating type), column C as the second question text (openText type), and column D as the survey type — write the returned survey ID into column E
Create the surveys, name them from a template, and validate the type before submitting
For each row in my sheet, check that column C contains a valid Formbricks survey type — if it doesn't, write "INVALID TYPE" into column D and skip — for valid rows, create a Formbricks survey named 'CSAT Survey — [column A]' with column B as the first question and write the returned survey ID into column D
The full validation + creation + logging pass in one prompt. No manual type-checking before you start.
