The Scenario
You are a data engineering lead. The tracking-plan review is next week. Your Amplitude project has grown to 120 event types across three product lines, and nobody can agree on which events are actively used, which are deprecated, and which were never documented.
Your job: pull all 120 events and their metadata into a Google Sheet so the team can audit them before the review.
The slow version:
- Open Amplitude, navigate to the Data tab
- The event list is paginated and does not have a clean export button
- Screenshot several pages, type the event names and properties into a sheet by hand
- Or: use Amplitude's Data documentation export, which gives you a CSV — but the CSV format is not what the review template expects
- Spend two hours reformatting and reconciling
- The review starts and half the sheet is still wrong.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI connects to Amplitude's Event Types API and writes the full taxonomy into your sheet in one pass.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Fetch all event types from Amplitude and write event name, category, description, owner, and status into columns A–E. Add a header row.
SheetXAI calls the Amplitude Data API, pulls all 120 events, and writes the structured table. The review team has a complete, accurate event list before the meeting.
What You Get
A complete event taxonomy table with five columns:
- Column A — event name (all 120, one per row)
- Column B — event category from Amplitude's taxonomy
- Column C — event description from the Amplitude data dictionary
- Column D — event owner (if set in Amplitude)
- Column E — event status (live, planned, deprecated)
Every event in your Amplitude project is represented, including ones that nobody has touched in six months. If the status is blank, that is its own finding.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Event taxonomy audits surface problems by design. SheetXAI handles the enrichment and flagging in the same prompt.
When you need current-week usage volume alongside the metadata
The review needs to distinguish actively-fired events from documented-but-dormant ones.
Pull all event types from Amplitude and write event name, category, description, owner, and status into columns A–E. Add a column F with each event's total fire count for the current week. Sort by column F descending so the most active events appear first.
When you want to flag events with no description
Events without descriptions are the most common tracking-plan problem. Surface them automatically.
Fetch all Amplitude events and write the full taxonomy into columns A–E. In column F, write "UNDOCUMENTED" for any event where the description is blank or missing. Write the count of undocumented events into cell H1.
When you need to filter to a specific event category
The review this week is focused only on onboarding events. The full 120-event list is noise.
Fetch all event types from Amplitude and filter to only events in the 'Onboarding' category. Write event name, description, owner, and status into columns A–D. Sort by event name ascending.
When you need the full taxonomy, usage data, undocumented flags, and a summary count all in one pass
The review template requires the audit table and a one-line tally at the top.
Pull all event types from Amplitude. Write event name, category, description, owner, and status into columns A–E. Add current-week fire count in column F. In column G, flag any event where description is blank as "UNDOCUMENTED" and any event with zero fires this week as "DORMANT". Write a summary in cell I1: total events, total undocumented, total dormant.
The pattern: the API pull, the enrichment, the flagging, and the summary count happen in one prompt. You walk into the tracking-plan review with an actionable audit table.
