The Scenario
You are a technical writer. Documentation sprint ends Thursday at noon. Your engineering lead handed you a Google Sheet on Monday:40 API endpoint names in column A, their descriptions in column B, and a note that each one needs a dedicated Confluence page in the Engineering space before the sprint closes.
It is Tuesday morning.
The bad version of the next two days:
- Open Confluence, click "Create page," type the endpoint name, paste the description, save
- Repeat 39 more times
- Lose track of which rows you have done after row 12
- Come back Wednesday and re-create three pages you already made
- Finish Thursday at 11:50 and discover four descriptions pasted into the wrong pages
- You submit with errors and spend Friday correcting them.
The fast version is one prompt before your second coffee.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that reads the sheet and creates the Confluence pages for you, so you do not have to open the editor once.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Create a Confluence page in the Engineering space for each row in this sheet, using column A as the page title and column B as the page body. Write the resulting Confluence page URL back into column C for each row.
SheetXAI reads all 40 rows, calls Confluence once per row, and writes each URL back into column C as it goes. When it finishes, you open column C, spot-check five links, and hand the sheet to your engineering lead.
What You Get
A row-for-row result set in the sheet:
- Column C — the live Confluence URL for each newly created page
- 40 pages in the Engineering space — each with the exact title and body from the sheet
- A clean audit trail — you can see which rows completed and which errored at a glance
The URLs go back into the sheet. That means you can share the sheet with engineers who need to link to their endpoint pages, or add a second SheetXAI prompt to bulk-add the pages to a parent table of contents.
If you need child pages instead of top-level pages, adjust the prompt. SheetXAI will create them under whatever parent you specify.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Most documentation sheets are not as clean as the scenario above. SheetXAI handles the cleanup and the page creation in the same prompt.
When endpoint names use inconsistent casing
The sheet was exported from three different sources and the endpoint names in column A use a mix of PascalCase, snake_case, and plain English.
Normalize the endpoint names in column A to title case. Then create a Confluence page in the Engineering space for each row using the normalized name as the title and the content in column B as the body. Write the URL into column C.
When some descriptions are missing
Fifteen rows have blank descriptions in column B. You do not want empty pages, but you also cannot wait for the engineers to fill them in.
For rows where column B is blank, use the endpoint name in column A to write a one-sentence placeholder description, then create the Confluence page with that placeholder. Mark those rows in column D with "placeholder" so I know to follow up. Write all page URLs into column C.
When the pages need to be children of different parents
Some endpoints belong to the Authentication section, others to the Data API section. Column C has the parent page ID.
Create a Confluence child page under the parent ID in column C for each row in this sheet, using column A as the page title and column B as the page body. Write the resulting URL into column D.
When the sheet has duplicates and stale rows
The sheet was built over three weeks by four people and has duplicate endpoint names and a handful of rows marked "deprecated" in column D.
Remove any rows where column A duplicates a previous row or where column D says "deprecated." For the remaining rows, create a Confluence page in the Engineering space using column A as the title and column B as the body. Write the URL into column E and the count of pages created into cell F1.
The pattern: instead of cleaning the sheet first and then creating pages, you ask for both in one prompt. SheetXAI handles the row filtering and the Confluence API calls together.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any sheet of titles and content you have been meaning to push to Confluence, then ask it to create the pages. The Confluence integration is included in every SheetXAI plan. For related workflows, see how to bulk-update Confluence page content from a sheet or the Confluence in Google Sheets overview.
