OpenAI Template
About Rows
Rows is the easiest way to import, transform, and share data in a spreadsheet. It combines a spreadsheet editor, +50 integrations with the tools you use every day, a powerful AI Analyst✨, and a sharing experience to instantly turn any spreadsheet into a web app, a form, or a dashboard.
Connect the OpenAI integration
To connect the integration, open a new spreadsheet, and select the OpenAI integration on the welcome side panel. Alternatively, you can search for the integration inside the Data actions panel.
Inside the actions panel, search for "Extract" and select the action.
Finally, Connect the integration to get started.
The Free plan includes 20 free uses of the OpenAI integration. Users on the Plus or Pro plans have unlimited access to OpenAI and can use their API key to access any OpenAI model, including fined-tuned models. By default, the OpenAI integrations use the "gpt-4o" model.
Use the Extract action
Once the integration is connected, you can start using OpenAI in Rows to extract concepts or portions from any piece of text.
Alternatively, you can use the Extract function directly in the spreadsheet. Type =EXTRACT to see the autocomplete.
All OpenAI functions need to be configured through mandatory and optional parameters, depending on their purpose. Let's go through them.
Element
The Extract function requires 'element' as the first parameter. This is simply the element you want to extract. You can be fully abstract, use a concept (e.g. 'feature request', or 'positive comment') and leave OpenAI to infer the portion of text to extract, or more specific (e.g. 'email address' or 'everything to the left of $') and ask OpenAI to spot the exact words or text portion.
You can write the text directly inside the 'element' field in the action wizard, or reference any cell in the table by pointing to it on the editor.
Text
The text you want to perform the extraction from.
The remaining parameters are all optional and commonly used for advanced use cases. Learn more about them in the Sentiment analysis function documentation.
