The Scenario
A research coordinator is rolling out a National customer satisfaction program across 20 regional offices. Each office gets its own NPS survey — same questions, different title so responses can be attributed correctly. She has the 20 office names in a Google Sheet. What she needs is 20 SurveyMonkey surveys, one per row, created programmatically, with the survey IDs written back so she can hand the list to the team.
The bad version:
- Open SurveyMonkey, go to Create Survey, pick a template, type in the office name, save, copy the survey ID, paste it into column B of the spreadsheet, go back to SurveyMonkey, repeat.
- Do this 20 times, knowing that each survey creation takes about 90 seconds in the UI and the whole thing will take 30 minutes of pure clicking.
- On survey 17, make a typo in the office name, not notice, and find out three weeks later when a regional manager asks why their survey says "Nroth Region" in the title.
She has a launch deadline on Friday. Creating 20 surveys one by one is not a launch-day activity.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the office names from the sheet, creates one SurveyMonkey survey per row, and writes the returned survey ID back — all in a single instruction.
Create one SurveyMonkey survey for each row in this sheet using the survey title in column A formatted as 'NPS Survey — [office name]'. Write the returned survey ID into column B and SUCCESS or ERROR into column C.
What You Get
- One SurveyMonkey survey created per row in the sheet.
- Survey titles follow the specified format with the office name from column A.
- The SurveyMonkey survey ID written back into column B so the list is immediately usable.
- Status in column C — SUCCESS when the survey was created, ERROR with a reason if any row failed.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some office names have inconsistent capitalization
Before creating surveys, normalize the office names in column A to title case (first letter of each word capitalized). Then create one SurveyMonkey survey per row with title 'NPS Survey — [normalized office name]' and write the survey ID into column B.
You want all surveys created inside a specific SurveyMonkey folder
Create one SurveyMonkey survey per row using the title in column A, assign each new survey to the SurveyMonkey folder named 'Regional NPS 2026', and write the survey ID into column B and status into column C.
Some rows already have survey IDs — skip those and only create the missing ones
Check column B for existing survey IDs. For any row where column B is blank, create a new SurveyMonkey survey using the title in column A, write the new survey ID into column B, and write status into column C. Leave rows that already have an ID untouched.
You need to create all surveys, get collector URLs for each, and build the full distribution table in one pass
Create one SurveyMonkey survey per row using column A as the title formatted as 'NPS Survey — [office name]'. Write the survey ID into column B. Then for each created survey, create a web link collector and write the collector URL into column C. Write SUCCESS or ERROR into column D for each row.
Ask for the full setup in one prompt — survey creation, collector generation, and URL writeback — so the distribution table is ready to send to the regional team.
