The Scenario
You're a system administrator and you've just configured a new EspoCRM integration for your team's shared spreadsheet workflow. Before anyone runs a bulk contact import or starts pulling pipeline data, you need to confirm the API key is actually working and pointing at the right account. The last time someone assumed the connection was live, 400 rows went into the wrong EspoCRM instance.
The bad version:
- Open EspoCRM's admin panel, hunt for the API key settings page, copy the key manually
- Switch back to the sheet, paste it into a config tab, and run a test import hoping the error message tells you something useful
- Realize the test hit the sandbox instance, not production — start over
You don't have time for that.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet that reads the data and talks to EspoCRM for you. No mapping, no automation, no copy-paste.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
"Check my EspoCRM connection and write the current user's name, email, role, and ACL summary into row 1 of this sheet."
What You Get
- The authenticated EspoCRM user's display name in column A, row 1
- Their email address in column B and assigned role in column C
- A condensed ACL permission summary in column D — enough to confirm which access level is active before bulk operations begin
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
When you need the raw user ID and API token status alongside the profile
"Check my EspoCRM connection and write the user ID, name, email, role, token status, and ACL summary into row 1 of the 'Auth Check' tab."
When you want to log multiple connection checks over time
"Check my EspoCRM connection and append a new row with today's date, the user name, email, role, and connection status to the 'Auth Log' tab — don't overwrite previous rows."
When you only care about whether the connection is active or not
"Check my EspoCRM connection and write just 'Connected' or 'Failed' plus the user email into cell A1 and B1 of this sheet."
When you want it all in one shot
"Check my EspoCRM connection, write the full user profile — ID, name, email, role, ACL summary — into row 1 of the 'Integration Check' tab, then check that the role has at least read access to Leads and Contacts and write 'OK' or 'Missing permissions' into column F."
The pattern: instead of manually navigating EspoCRM's admin panel and then cleaning up a separate test log, you ask for both the verification and the writeback in one prompt.
