The Scenario
Your field operations team has been using Mapulus for eight months. Different people on the team created maps for different regions, and nobody kept a central list. You're sitting in front of a blank Google Sheet with a simple ask from your director: produce an inventory of every Mapulus map your account can access, with IDs and dates, before the ops review at 2 PM.
The bad version:
- Log into Mapulus, start scrolling through the dashboard, and manually copy map names and IDs into the sheet one at a time
- Realize partway through that you can't see maps created by teammates who haven't shared them with you directly, so your count is already off
- Spend the next hour chasing down three colleagues to share their maps, then re-copy everything you missed
You're supposed to be the one running the ops review, not building the spreadsheet it's based on. The map inventory is five minutes of data pulling — it shouldn't take up the entire morning before the meeting.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the sheet context, connects to Mapulus on your behalf, and pulls the data you need — in this case, a full account-level map inventory — directly into the sheet. You don't need to touch the Mapulus dashboard at all.
List all Mapulus maps accessible to my account and write each map's ID, name, description, and creation date into this sheet — one map per row, sorted by creation date descending, starting in row 2 with headers in row 1
What You Get
- Row 1 gets headers: Map ID, Map Name, Description, Created At
- Every subsequent row is one Mapulus map — all maps visible to your account, not just the ones you created
- Rows are sorted newest-first so the most recently active maps are at the top
- If a map has no description, the column is left blank rather than throwing an error
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The inventory pulls but you need a "last updated" column too
Your director wants to see both creation date and last-modified date side by side.
List all Mapulus maps accessible to my account and write map ID, map name, description, creation date, and last-updated date into this sheet — one map per row, headers in row 1, sorted by last-updated date descending
Some maps are showing no name — they were created with a placeholder
A few maps in the list are showing blank names because they were set up quickly and never properly titled.
List all Mapulus maps into this sheet and flag any row where the map name is blank or contains "untitled" by writing "needs label" into column E — otherwise leave column E empty
You need to split maps by the team member who created them
Your director wants a breakdown of map ownership, not just a flat list.
List all Mapulus maps accessible to my account and write map ID, map name, creation date, and owner email into this sheet — then sort by owner email alphabetically so I can see each person's maps grouped together
Full audit: inventory, missing metadata, and a count summary
You need the inventory, the flagged gaps, and a summary row at the bottom for the ops review deck.
List all Mapulus maps into this sheet with columns for map ID, name, description, creation date, and owner. Flag any map with a missing description in column F. Then add a summary row at the bottom showing total map count, count with descriptions, and count without descriptions.
Ask for the cleanup and the summary in the same prompt — you get a finished artifact, not a halfway result you have to format yourself.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open a blank Google Sheet, then ask SheetXAI to pull your full Mapulus map inventory with whatever metadata columns your ops review needs.
