Export Top Spotlightr Videos to a Google Sheet

The Scenario

Your digital marketing director sent a message at 8 AM: she needs the top 20 most-viewed videos from the Spotlightr account before the content strategy meeting at 11. She wants to know which pieces are worth repurposing, which can be retired, and what the completion rates look like across the top performers. She does not want a screenshot. She wants a sheet.

You have Spotlightr access. You do not have a way to export that data directly into Google Sheets that doesn't involve clicking through fifteen screens.

The bad version:

  • Open Spotlightr Analytics, sort by play count descending, read the top video name and its play count, switch to the sheet, type it in.
  • Go back to Spotlightr. Read the second video. Switch back. Type it in.
  • After ten minutes you have five rows and you've already transposed two values because you were switching between tabs too fast.

The meeting is in three hours. The data is right there in Spotlightr — you just need it somewhere you can actually share and sort.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It talks directly to Spotlightr, fetches the top-performing videos, and writes the results into your sheet — sorted, labeled, and ready.

Fetch the top videos from my Spotlightr account and paste their names, play counts, and completion rates into this sheet starting at row 2.

What You Get

  • Video names written into column A starting at row 2, play counts in column B, completion rates in column C.
  • Results sorted by play count descending — highest-viewed video in row 2.
  • Each row maps to one video from Spotlightr, with no duplicates and no missing fields.
  • The sheet is ready to share or filter the moment SheetXAI finishes.

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

You want more fields — video ID, group name, and share count

The default export covers the basics, but for a full content audit you need the video ID to cross-reference against your CMS and the group name to see which courses are driving the most views.

Fetch the top 25 Spotlightr videos by play count and write video ID into column A, title into column B, group name into column C, total plays into column D, play rate into column E, and completion rate into column F, starting at row 2.

You only want videos from a specific project group

Your Spotlightr account has videos across eight different course topics. The director only cares about the product demo group for this meeting.

Fetch all videos in the "Product Demos" Spotlightr group, sort by play count descending, and write the top 20 into this sheet — columns: video ID, title, plays, completionRate.

You need a second tab with the bottom performers too

The content refresh decision requires knowing both ends: what's performing well and what's being ignored.

Fetch all Spotlightr videos and write the top 20 by play count into the "Top Performers" tab (columns: title, plays, completionRate) and the bottom 20 by play count into the "Low Performers" tab with the same columns.

You want the export plus a repurpose recommendation in one pass

For each video in the top 20, you want a column that says "Repurpose" if completion rate is above 65% and plays are above 500, and "Review" otherwise — so the director can scan the recommendation column at a glance.

Fetch the top 20 Spotlightr videos by play count and write title, plays, and completionRate into columns A–C. In column D, write "Repurpose" if plays exceed 500 and completionRate exceeds 0.65, otherwise write "Review."

Single prompt, annotated output, meeting-ready in minutes.
