The Scenario
You are a product manager. It is Tuesday afternoon and you just got access to a new Nozbe project for the next product cycle. You need to create 12 sections — Sprint 1 through Sprint 12 — before the team starts adding tasks tomorrow morning.
The section names are already in your Excel workbook: one per row in column A of the Sections tab.
The bad version of this afternoon:
- You open Nozbe and navigate to the new project
- You click "Add Section," type "Sprint 1," save
- You click "Add Section" again, type "Sprint 2," save
- You repeat this 12 times, in order, without making a typo
- You realize on Sprint 8 that the project ID is wrong and you have been adding sections to the wrong project
- You delete everything and start over.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that reads the section list and creates all the sections in the right Nozbe project at once.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Read my Excel sprint planning template where each row is a phase name on the Sections tab and bulk-create all 12 sections in the Nozbe Teams project whose ID is in cell B1.
SheetXAI reads the project ID from B1, reads all 12 section names from the Sections tab, and creates each section in the correct Nozbe project. Twelve sections, one prompt.
What You Get
Twelve sections created in the target Nozbe project, in the order they appear in the workbook:
- Section names — exactly as written in column A of the Sections tab
- Project assignment — all sections go to the project ID in cell B1
- Order preserved — Sprint 1 is first, Sprint 12 is last
If the project ID in B1 is invalid, SheetXAI tells you before creating anything rather than creating sections in the wrong place and making you clean up.
Need to create the same sections across multiple projects? Extend the prompt to loop over a list of project IDs and SheetXAI handles the iteration.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Section templates assembled in planning meetings are rarely final. SheetXAI handles adjustments and creation in the same prompt.
When section names have inconsistent capitalization
Some rows say "sprint 1," some say "Sprint 1," some say "SPRINT 1."
Normalize all section names in column A of the Sections tab to title case. Then create a Nozbe section for each row in the project with ID in cell B1.
When you need sections created across multiple projects
You have three new Nozbe projects that all need the same 12 sprint sections. Project IDs are in cells B1, B2, and B3.
Create the 12 sections listed in column A of the Sections tab in each of the three Nozbe projects whose IDs are in cells B1, B2, and B3. All three projects should have the same section structure.
When sections should only be created for phases marked as active
Column B has a Status column. Some rows say "Active," some say "Pending." You only want sections for the active phases right now.
Create a Nozbe section for every row in column A of the Sections tab where column B says "Active." Use the project ID in cell D1. Skip rows marked "Pending."
When you need to create sections and then immediately add tasks to each one
Columns C through F have task names for each section. You want the full structure in Nozbe in one go.
Create a Nozbe project section for each row in column A of the Sections tab (project ID in cell B1). Then, for each section, create a task for every non-blank cell in columns C through F of the same row. Assign each task to the section you just created.
The pattern: instead of creating sections and then coming back to add tasks, you describe the full project structure and SheetXAI builds it in one pass.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any section-list or sprint-template workbook, then ask it to build the project structure in Nozbe. The Nozbe Teams integration is included in every SheetXAI plan.
