The Scenario
You are a release manager. The quarter just closed and the VP of Engineering needs a release retrospective before Friday's all-hands. She wants to know: how many releases went out in the last ninety days, which projects shipped most frequently, and whether any releases had zero deployments.
The slow version:
- Open Sentry Releases, scroll and take notes on versions and dates
- Click into each release for deployment counts
- Realize you cannot see all projects at once without filter-switching
- Start copying into an Excel workbook manually
- Two hours later you have thirty days of data for two of four projects.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads your Sentry release history and writes it into the workbook.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
List all Sentry releases for organization 'my-org' from the last 90 days and write each release's version, date created, project, and deployment count into this workbook, one row per release. Sort by date created descending.
SheetXAI paginates through the full ninety-day window and writes every release into the workbook.
What You Get
A release log with version, date created, project, and deployment count. Sort deployment count ascending and the releases with zero deployments surface immediately, the first finding for the retro.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
When version strings are CI-generated hashes and you want readable labels
List all Sentry releases from the last 90 days for 'my-org'. Include version, date created, project, deployment count, and commit count. In column F, write 'readable' if the version contains a dot or dash suggesting semantic versioning, otherwise write 'hash'.
When you need to see which environments each release was deployed to
List all Sentry releases from the last 90 days for 'my-org'. For each release, write the version, date created, project, and the list of environments deployed to, comma-separated, into columns A through E.
When the retro is project-specific
List all Sentry releases for project 'backend-api' in 'my-org' from the last 90 days. Write version, date created, and deployment count into columns A through C. Add a summary row showing total releases and average deployment count.
When the VP wants the summary table and raw list in the same workbook tab
List all Sentry releases from the last 90 days for 'my-org'. Write version, date created, project, and deployment count into rows 3 and below. In rows 1 and 2, write: total release count, count by project, count of releases with zero deployments. In column E, write 'no deploy' if deployment count is zero.
The pattern: one prompt gets the data. The analysis is part of the same prompt.
