The Scenario
You are an engineering manager. Last week you ran an unplanned triage and pulled fifty unresolved Sentry issues into a Google Sheet. The team prioritized them, added context, and marked the ones they want to track closely through Q2.
Now you want to make those fifty issues visible on the Sentry dashboard so the whole team can monitor them together, without each engineer having to re-find the issues individually in Sentry.
The slow version:
- Open Sentry Discover
- Build a query that filters to your issue IDs, one at a time, using the query builder
- Try to figure out whether to use issue.id or the short ID in the filter syntax
- Add all fifty IDs, realize the query bar has a character limit
- You get thirty-two issues into the saved query and give up on the rest.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads the issue IDs from the sheet and creates the Sentry Discover saved query or dashboard directly, so you do not have to fight the query builder with fifty IDs.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Create a Sentry Discover saved query called 'Q2 Triage Watch List' for organization 'my-org' that filters to all issue IDs listed in column A of this sheet.
SheetXAI reads all fifty issue IDs, builds the Discover query with the correct filter syntax, and saves it to your Sentry organization. The whole team can now open Sentry and find the watch list without anyone having to share a filtered URL.
What You Get
A saved Sentry Discover query called 'Q2 Triage Watch List' that:
- Filters to exactly the fifty issues from your triage sheet
- Is accessible to the whole organization — not a private bookmark, a saved query anyone can find
- Stays live — as issues get resolved, their event count in Discover drops to zero, which is how you see progress without checking each issue individually
Send the Discover URL to your team in Slack and the monitoring question is answered for the quarter. No recurring status-check meeting needed.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Triage sheets collected in a hurry have data quality issues that affect downstream Sentry queries.
When issue IDs in the sheet are short IDs instead of numeric IDs
Sentry Discover filters on numeric IDs, not short IDs like BACKEND-1234.
For each short ID in column A, look up the corresponding numeric Sentry issue ID via the API and write it in column B. Then create a Discover saved query called 'Q2 Triage Watch List' for 'my-org' that filters to all numeric issue IDs in column B.
When you want one dashboard widget per project instead of one global query
Your fifty issues span four projects and you want project-level visibility on the dashboard.
Group the issue IDs in column A by the project in column B. For each project group, create a Sentry dashboard widget showing the unresolved issue count for that project's issues over the last 14 days. Create all widgets on one dashboard called 'Q2 Triage by Project'.
When some issues have been resolved and you want to filter them out before creating the query
You pulled the sheet last week. Some issues may have been fixed since then.
Check the current status of each issue ID in column A against Sentry. For issues that are still unresolved, write 'open' in column B. For issues that are resolved, write 'resolved' in column B. Then create a Sentry Discover saved query using only the issue IDs marked 'open' in column B.
When you want the Discover query, the dashboard widget, and a Slack notification all in one pass
The team should know the watch list is live the moment you set it up.
Create a Sentry Discover saved query called 'Q2 Triage Watch List' for 'my-org' filtering to all issue IDs in column A. Then create a Sentry dashboard widget showing the unresolved count of those issues over the last 14 days. Write the Discover query URL and the dashboard URL into cells C1 and C2 of this sheet. Then post a message to the #backend-eng Slack channel with both URLs and a one-sentence explanation that the Q2 triage watch list is live.
The pattern: the triage sheet is the input. One prompt turns it into a live monitoring artifact in Sentry that the whole team uses.
