The Scenario
Your team ran a two-day customer workshop and collected 60 raw feature ideas in a shared Google Sheet — one idea per row, title in column A, description in column B. The debrief call is in three hours. Everyone agreed that before the call, the ideas should be in Canny so customers can vote on them.
Nobody planned for how long it would take to actually get them there.
The bad version:
- Open Canny, click 'New Post', type the title from row 1, paste the description, assign it to the right board, submit
- Click 'New Post' again for row 2
- By row 15, you've lost the correct board selection twice and submitted two posts to the wrong place
60 ideas times 3-4 clicks and a copy-paste each is not a data entry task — it's a repetitive manual job that compounds every time you misclick or lose your place.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the worksheet and, through its built-in Canny integration, submits every row as a Canny post — targeting the right board, using the columns you specify, without you clicking into the UI once.
Create a new Canny post for each row in my sheet using the title in column A and details in column B
What You Get
- One Canny post created per row
- Title from column A, description body from column B
- Posts landed in the default board unless you specify otherwise
- Any rows that fail written back with an error note so you know what to retry
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Each row specifies a board and you need posts to go to different boards
Submit all rows in my Workshop Ideas sheet as Canny posts — use Title in column A and Description in column B. Target the board specified in column C for each row.
Some ideas are duplicates based on similar titles and should be merged first
Before creating posts: scan column A for titles that are very similar (within a few words of each other) and flag them in column D as 'possible duplicate of row [N]'. Then for rows not flagged, create a Canny post using column A as title and column B as description.
Descriptions are rough workshop notes and need cleaning up before submission
For each row in my sheet: take the raw workshop note in column B and rewrite it as a clear 2-3 sentence feature request description. Write the cleaned version into column C. Then create a Canny post for each row using column A as title and column C as the cleaned description.
Full chain: clean descriptions, deduplicate, create posts, log results
First, rewrite the raw notes in column B as clean feature request descriptions and write them into column C. Then scan column A for near-duplicate titles and flag them in column D. For rows without a duplicate flag, create a Canny post using column A and column C. Write 'posted' or 'skipped: duplicate' or 'error: [reason]' into column E.
One prompt handles the writing, the deduplication check, the posting, and the audit log.
