The Scenario
You are a project coordinator at a consultancy. Twenty-five new client engagements just kicked off. Each one is listed in a Google Sheet: client name in column A, project description in column B, start date in column C.
Every new engagement gets its own Coda page inside the company's master "Client Projects" doc. The page uses a consistent structure: client name as the title, description and start date in the page body, followed by a standard section header for kickoff notes.
The bad version:
- You open Coda, create a new page, type the client name as the title
- You type the description and start date into the body
- You add the kickoff notes section header
- You go back to the sheet, read the next row, repeat
- By page eight you have copy-pasted the wrong description
- By page fifteen you have used the wrong start date twice
- You finish at 6 PM, skip the kickoff for client 24, and have to redo it the next morning.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that reads each row and creates a Coda page per client without you opening the Coda UI once.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
For each row in this sheet, create a new Coda page in my 'Client Projects' doc with the client name from column A as the page title and the description from column B and start date from column C filled into the page body. Add a 'Kickoff Notes' section header below the description.
SheetXAI reads all 25 rows, creates 25 pages in Coda with the right title and body structure, and writes the Coda page URL back into column D for each row.
What You Get
Twenty-five Coda pages, each one:
- Named after the client — column A value as the page title
- Structured body — description and start date at the top, kickoff notes section below
- URL in column D — so you can link directly to each page from the sheet
No copy-paste errors. No skipped sections. The pages are created in the same order as the rows, and each one gets exactly the structure you described.
If the structure changes next month — say, you want to add an "Assigned Team" section — you update the prompt once and all future page creation runs pick up the new shape.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Client sheets are never perfect on day one. SheetXAI handles the edge cases in the same prompt.
When some descriptions are missing
A handful of rows have a blank description column. You do not want a Coda page with an empty body.
For each row in this sheet, create a new Coda page in my 'Client Projects' doc using the client name as the page title. If the description column is blank, skip that row and write 'SKIPPED — no description' into column D. For all other rows, include description, start date, and a 'Kickoff Notes' section.
When start dates are in inconsistent formats
Some rows say "May 1, 2026," others say "2026-05-01," others just "1 May." The Coda page body should use a consistent format.
Before creating pages, normalize the start date column to the format 'Month D, YYYY' (e.g. 'May 1, 2026'). Then for each row, create a Coda page in my 'Client Projects' doc with the client name as title, description and normalized start date in the body, and a 'Kickoff Notes' section. Write the page URL into column D.
When page names need a prefix for easy sorting
Your Coda doc uses a naming convention of "Client: [Name]" so pages sort alphabetically by client.
For each row, create a Coda page in my 'Client Projects' doc. Name each page 'Client: [client name from column A]'. Include description, start date, and kickoff notes section in the body. Write the page URL into column D.
When you also need a summary row in a Coda tracking table
Beyond creating the pages, you need each new engagement logged in a Coda "Active Projects" table with client name, start date, and page URL.
For each row in this sheet, create a Coda page in my 'Client Projects' doc using client name, description, and start date. Write the page URL into column D. Then insert a row into my Coda 'Active Projects' table with client name from column A, start date from column C, and the page URL.
The pattern: the page creation and the data logging happen in one prompt. You do not create pages first and update the tracking table separately.
