The Scenario
You are a B2B marketing manager. Your company is launching a Reddit Ads lead generation campaign targeting six different buyer personas. Each persona gets its own lead gen form with a different headline and question set.
The form specs are in an Excel workbook, Brief tab: column A is form name, column B is headline, column C is a semicolon-separated list of questions. Six rows, six forms. The campaign goes live in three days.
The bad version:
- You open Reddit Ads Manager and navigate to the lead gen form builder
- You create form one, typing the form name, headline, privacy URL, and each question individually
- You repeat for forms two through six
- On form five you realize you forgot the company size question on forms three and four
- You go back, edit both forms, re-save
- It is 4 PM and you have spent three hours in the form builder.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads the Brief tab and creates all six lead gen forms via the Reddit Ads API in one pass.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
For each row in the Brief tab, create a Reddit Ads lead gen form using the form name in column A, headline in column B, and the question list in column C. Split the questions in column C by semicolons to get individual questions. Use https://company.com/privacy as the privacy URL for all forms. Write the form ID into column D for each row.
SheetXAI reads all six rows, parses the question lists, creates each form via the Reddit Ads API, and writes each form ID into column D. Six forms before lunch.
What You Get
Six live Reddit Ads lead gen forms with IDs logged in the Brief tab:
- Column A — form name (unchanged)
- Column B — headline (unchanged)
- Column C — questions (applied as parsed)
- Column D — form ID from the API
Column D is your record. Pass the IDs to the campaign manager to attach to ad groups.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Form spec workbooks from content teams always need cleanup. SheetXAI handles it and the creation together.
When some rows are missing a headline
Two rows have a blank headline. You do not want forms created with empty headlines.
For each row in the Brief tab where column B has a value, create a Reddit Ads lead gen form using column A for name, column B for headline, and column C for questions. Write the form ID into column D. For rows where column B is blank, write "SKIPPED — no headline" into column D.
When each form needs a different privacy URL
Column E has persona-specific privacy URLs.
For each row in the Brief tab, create a Reddit Ads lead gen form using column A for name, column B for headline, column C for questions, and column E for the privacy URL. Write the form ID into column D.
When you need to confirm form creation by fetching each form's details back
You want to verify the questions were applied correctly without opening Ads Manager.
For each row in the Brief tab, create a Reddit Ads lead gen form using column A for name, column B for headline, and column C for questions. Write the form ID into column D. Then fetch each new form's details from the API and write the confirmed question count into column E, so the QA record is complete.
When you need the forms created AND immediately attached to their corresponding ad groups
Column F has the ad group ID each form should be linked to.
For each row in the Brief tab, create a Reddit Ads lead gen form using column A for name, column B for headline, and column C for questions. Write the form ID into column D. Then attach each new form to the ad group ID in column F by updating that ad group's lead gen form setting.
The pattern: the spec is in the workbook. SheetXAI creates all forms and logs the IDs without you using the form builder UI once.
