Spreadsheets & Data Management

Xenbox includes a built-in spreadsheet system for storing and managing structured data locally. It is optimized for handling large datasets and integrates directly with automation workflows.


Overview

With spreadsheets, you can:

  • Store and manage structured data locally
  • Create datasets manually or via automation
  • Extract and save data from websites using AI
  • Export data in multiple formats

All spreadsheet data is stored locally on your device. It is not synced across devices, so you will not see the same data on another computer.


1. Creating a Spreadsheet

Step 1: Open Spreadsheet Section

Navigate to the Spreadsheet section from the left sidebar.

Step 2: Create New Spreadsheet

Click Create Spreadsheet.

Create Spreadsheet

Step 3: Add Details

Provide:

  • Name
  • Description

Step 4: Configure Columns

You can:

  • Use default columns
  • Or define custom columns to structure your data

Custom columns help enforce structure and ensure your data is stored consistently.


2. Managing Spreadsheet Data

Once created, you can view and manage your data.

3. Column Configuration

Columns define how your data is structured.

Supported Column Types

  • Text
  • Number
  • Date
  • Boolean
  • Email
  • Phone Number
  • URL
  • Image
  • File

Column names must match the structure of incoming data from automation tasks, especially when using AI-generated outputs.


4. Using Spreadsheets in Automation

Workflows can automatically create and update spreadsheets using the Update Spreadsheet Task.

How It Works

  • The task expects structured JSON data (array of objects)
  • Typically receives input from:
    • Extract Data with AI
    • Modify Data with AI

Example AI Prompt

Extract into a JSON array all staff names, phone numbers, emails, and profile pictures. No extra words.
