The Scenario
You are a DevOps engineer at a SaaS company. It is 2 PM on a Tuesday and the product team just confirmed that twenty new customer tenants are going live by end of week.
Each tenant needs its own Neon project, provisioned in the right region, running the right Postgres version, with the connection URI written back to the onboarding tracker so the customer success team can hand it off. That tracker is a Google Sheet. You have four columns of configuration data and four days.
The bad version of the next two hours:
- Open the Neon dashboard
- Click "New Project" twenty times, filling in the name, region, and Postgres version each time from the sheet
- Copy each project ID and connection URI by hand into columns D and E
- Realize you misread row 14 and provisioned the wrong region
- Fix it, delete the old project, reprovision
- You finish at 5:45, the customer success team is still waiting for rows 16 through 20.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that reads the configuration rows and calls the Neon API for each one, so you never open the Neon dashboard manually.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
For each row in my sheet with a project name in column A, region in column B, and Postgres version in column C, create a new Neon project and write the resulting project ID and connection URI into columns D and E.
SheetXAI reads all twenty rows, provisions each Neon project with the right settings, and writes the project ID and connection string back to the sheet. The tracker is complete and accurate. No dashboard clicks, no copy-paste errors.
What You Get
A fully populated tracker with twenty rows of provisioning output:
- Column D — Neon project ID for each tenant
- Column E — connection URI ready to hand off to the customer success team
- Consistent region and version — exactly what was in columns B and C, no manual transcription errors
Errors surface as status flags, not silent failures. If a region is invalid or the project name conflicts, SheetXAI writes the error message into column D instead of leaving the row blank and moving on.
Want to add a "created at" timestamp? Tell SheetXAI to write the creation timestamp into column F as well.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Configuration sheets are rarely perfect on the first pass. SheetXAI handles cleanup and provisioning in the same prompt.
When region values are inconsistent
Your sheet has "us-east-1," "US East," and "US-EAST-1" in column B. The Neon API expects one specific format.
Normalize the region values in column B to the Neon API format (e.g. aws-us-east-1). Then create a Neon project for each row using the normalized region and write the project ID and connection URI into columns D and E.
When some rows are missing a Postgres version
Half the rows have a Postgres version in column C, the rest are blank. You want blanks to default to the latest stable version.
For any row where column C is blank, use Postgres 16. Then create a Neon project for each row and write the project ID and connection URI into columns D and E.
When you only want to provision rows marked as ready
The sheet has a Status column. Some rows say "Ready," others say "Pending" or "On Hold." You do not want to provision the ones that are not ready yet.
Filter to rows where column D says 'Ready'. Create a Neon project for each filtered row using columns A, B, and C. Write the project ID and connection URI into columns E and F.
When the sheet is raw and still needs formatting
You received the configuration data as a CSV export with mixed-case names, inconsistent regions, and blank Postgres version cells. You need cleanup, provisioning, and a summary in one shot.
Normalize the project names in column A to lowercase with hyphens. Standardize region values in column B to the aws-us-east-1 format. Default any blank Postgres version in column C to 16. Then create a Neon project for each row and write the project ID, connection URI, and creation timestamp into columns D, E, and F. Finally, write a summary in cell H1 showing how many projects were created and how many rows were skipped due to errors.
The pattern: instead of cleaning the sheet first and then provisioning, you ask for both in one prompt. SheetXAI handles the conditional logic row by row.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any configuration sheet with project names and settings, then ask it to provision the Neon projects. The Neon integration is included in every SheetXAI plan.
