The Scenario
A research coordinator at a hospitality group is standing up a guest satisfaction program for 18 hotel properties. Each property gets its own survey — same structure, property name in the title — and the list of properties is in an Excel workbook with one property per row. She needs 18 SurveyMonkey surveys created before the program launch next Tuesday, with the survey IDs written back into the workbook so the operations team can link them to each property's dashboard.
The bad version:
- Open SurveyMonkey, click Create Survey, pick a template, type in the first property name, save, copy the survey ID, switch back to Excel, paste it into column B, go back to SurveyMonkey, click Create Survey again.
- Do this 18 times, each survey creation taking 90 seconds of clicking and typing.
- On property 14, make a typo in the name, not notice until two weeks later when a property manager calls to ask why the survey title is wrong, at which point there are already 40 responses tied to the wrong name.
Launch is Tuesday. She has 18 surveys to create and a pre-launch checklist with 11 other items on it.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the property names from the workbook, creates one SurveyMonkey survey per row, and writes the returned survey ID back — all in one instruction.
Read the 'Regions' Excel table and create a SurveyMonkey survey titled 'Guest Satisfaction — [PropertyName]' for each row using the property name in column A. Write the survey ID back into the ID column and SUCCESS or ERROR into the Status column.
What You Get
- One SurveyMonkey survey created per row with the title format specified.
- Survey ID written back into the ID column in the workbook immediately.
- Status written per row — SUCCESS or ERROR with a reason if any row fails.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some property names have inconsistent capitalization
Normalize property names in column A to title case before creating surveys. Then create one SurveyMonkey survey per row with the title 'Guest Satisfaction — [normalized property name]' and write the survey ID into column B and status into column C.
You want surveys created inside a specific SurveyMonkey folder
Create one SurveyMonkey survey per row using the property name in column A formatted as 'Guest Satisfaction — [PropertyName]'. Assign each new survey to the SurveyMonkey folder named 'Hotel Program 2026'. Write the survey ID into column B and status into column C.
Some rows already have survey IDs — skip those
Check column B for existing survey IDs. For rows where column B is blank, create a new SurveyMonkey survey using column A as the property name in the title 'Guest Satisfaction — [PropertyName]'. Write the survey ID into column B and status into column C. Leave rows that already have an ID untouched.
You need to create all surveys, generate a web link collector for each, and build the full distribution table in one pass
Create one SurveyMonkey survey per row from column A using the title 'Guest Satisfaction — [PropertyName]'. Write the survey ID into column B. Then create a web link collector for each survey and write the collector URL into column C. Write SUCCESS or ERROR into column D for each row.
One prompt covers the survey creation, collector setup, and full URL writeback — so the operations team gets a complete distribution table.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open the Excel workbook with your property or program list, then ask it to create one survey per row and write IDs back.
