The Scenario
You are an engineering manager. Last week you pulled fifty unresolved Sentry issues into an Excel workbook. The team triaged and prioritized them. Now you want those fifty issues visible as a saved Discover query in Sentry so the whole team can monitor progress together without each engineer having to re-find the issues individually.
The slow version:
- Open Sentry Discover, try to build a filter with fifty issue IDs in the query bar
- Discover the query bar has a character limit
- Get thirty-two issues in, give up on the rest
- The team ends up monitoring twenty-seven issues instead of fifty.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads the issue IDs from the workbook and creates the Sentry Discover saved query or dashboard directly.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Create a Sentry Discover saved query called 'Q2 Triage Watch List' for organization 'my-org' that filters to all issue IDs listed in column A of this workbook.
SheetXAI reads all fifty issue IDs, builds the Discover query, and saves it to your Sentry organization. The whole team can find it without anyone sharing a filtered URL.
What You Get
A saved Sentry Discover query filtering to exactly your fifty issues. As issues get resolved their event count drops to zero, which is how you see progress without individual status checks. Send the URL to the team in Teams or Slack.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
When issue IDs in the workbook are short IDs, not numeric IDs
For each short ID in column A, look up the numeric Sentry issue ID via the API and write it in column B. Then create a Discover saved query filtering to all numeric IDs in column B.
When you want one dashboard widget per project instead of one global query
Group the issue IDs in column A by project in column B. For each project group, create a Sentry dashboard widget showing unresolved issue count for those issues over the last 14 days. Create all widgets on one dashboard called 'Q2 Triage by Project'.
When some issues may have been resolved since you pulled the list
Check the current status of each issue ID in column A. Write 'open' or 'resolved' in column B. Then create a Sentry Discover query using only the open issue IDs.
When you want the query, dashboard widget, and a Teams notification in one pass
Create a Sentry Discover saved query filtering to all issue IDs in column A. Create a dashboard widget showing the unresolved count over the last 14 days. Write the Discover URL and dashboard URL into cells C1 and C2. Post a message to the #backend-eng Teams channel with both URLs confirming the Q2 triage watch list is live.
The pattern: the triage workbook is the input. One prompt turns it into a live monitoring artifact in Sentry.
