The Scenario
You manage product communications and you've been tracking every feature release in a Google Sheet for the past three months — 15 entries, each with a title, a body paragraph, and a publish date. The changelog in Canny is empty because nobody got around to creating the entries.
Your head of product mentioned the changelog in a team meeting this morning. You'd like it to not be empty by the time the next meeting happens.
The bad version:
- Open Canny, go to Changelog, click 'New Entry', type the title from row one, paste the body, set the publish date, toggle published status
- Close the modal, open it again for row two
- Forget whether row 12 was supposed to be published or kept as a draft, go back to the sheet to check, lose your place
15 entries is not a lot. But 15 rounds of navigate-type-paste-check-submit adds up when you're also trying to do actual product marketing work.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the release table and, through its built-in Canny integration, creates changelog entries for every row — respecting your published/draft flags without you touching the Canny UI.
Create Canny changelog entries for each row in this sheet using the Title, Details, and Published (yes/no) columns
What You Get
- One changelog entry created per row
- Published set to true for rows where the Published column is 'yes'
- Remaining rows created as drafts
- Any failures written back with the reason
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Published column has mixed values — 'yes', 'Yes', 'live', 'TRUE'
Create Canny changelog entries for each row — treat 'yes', 'live', and 'TRUE' (case-insensitive) in the Published column as published=true. Everything else creates as a draft. Use Title and Details columns.
You want to schedule entries by publish date rather than publishing them all immediately
Create Canny changelog entries for each row in my sheet — use the Title and Body columns. For rows where the Publish Date column is today's date or earlier, set published=true. For rows with a future date, create as a draft and write a note into column D: 'draft — publish on [date]'.
Body copy needs light editing before going live
For each row in my sheet: take the raw body text in column B and edit it for clarity — fix grammar, tighten the language, keep it under 150 words. Write the edited version into column C. Then create Canny changelog entries using column A as title and column C as body. Set published=true for rows where column D is 'live'.
Full audit chain: edit copy, create entries, log outcome
First, rewrite the body text in column B to be concise and clear — write results into column C. Then create Canny changelog entries: Title from column A, body from column C, published=true for rows where column D is 'live'. Write 'created: published', 'created: draft', or 'error: [reason]' into column E.
One prompt rewrites the copy, creates the entries, and gives you a result log — all before the meeting.
