The Scenario
You are a platform architect. The engineering team is decomposing a monolith into twelve microservices. You have an Excel workbook with service names in column A and owning team names in column B. Every service needs a Sentry project. Every team needs a Sentry team. The first services go live in two weeks.
The slow version:
- Create the first Sentry team in Settings, save
- Navigate to Projects, create the first project, assign to team
- Go back, create the second team
- Realize the project-team assignment requires a different settings section after creation
- Repeat twelve times
- You finish the next morning with half the projects unassigned.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads the workbook and creates every Sentry team and project in one pass.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Create a Sentry team for each team name in column B and write the returned team slug in column C. Then create a Sentry project for each service name in column A, assigned to the team slug in column C, and write the new project ID in column D.
SheetXAI creates each team, captures the slug, creates each project assigned to that team, and logs the project IDs. The full structure is in Sentry before end of day.
What You Get
Column C gets team slugs, column D gets project IDs. The project IDs are what you need to configure DSNs in your service deployments.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
When some teams already exist in Sentry
For each team name in column B, check if a team already exists in 'my-org'. If it does, write the existing slug in column C. If not, create it and write the new slug. Then create a project for each row using column A, assigned to column C's slug, and write the project ID in column D.
When platform values need to be set per service from column C
Create a Sentry project for each service in column A, assigned to the team in column B, with the platform from column C. Write the returned project ID in column D and DSN in column E.
When you want to control team slug naming
For each team name in column B, create the Sentry team with a slug derived by lowercasing the name and replacing spaces with hyphens. Write the intended slug in column C before creating. Then create projects assigned to those slugs.
When you want creation plus verification before the services go live
Create Sentry teams and projects from the workbook as described. After creation, verify each project's team assignment by fetching project details from Sentry and writing 'verified' or 'mismatch' in column E.
The pattern: the workbook is the blueprint. One prompt builds the Sentry structure from it.
