The Scenario
You are a data privacy engineer. This month your team received 95 GDPR deletion requests. The Amplitude user IDs are in an Excel workbook that your legal team put together on the Deletions tab. Amplitude supports bulk deletion via API, but each request returns a job ID that needs to be logged for compliance.
If you submit them one by one through Amplitude's UI, that is 95 manual submissions. If you write API calls by hand, that is hours of engineering time for a compliance task that should take five minutes.
The slow version:
- Find the Amplitude User Privacy API in the docs
- Write a script or use Postman to send deletion requests for each user ID
- Log job IDs manually back into the workbook
- Handle errors row by row
- Two hours of engineering time. Compliance is waiting.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI connects to Amplitude's User Privacy API and submits bulk deletion requests directly from your workbook, logging returned job IDs inline.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Take the Amplitude user IDs in column A of the Deletions tab (all 95 rows) and submit a bulk deletion request to Amplitude's User Privacy API. Write the returned deletion job ID into column B and the request status into column C for each row.
SheetXAI reads column A, submits all 95 deletion requests, and logs the job IDs and status values back into the Deletions tab. Your compliance record is complete in one pass.
What You Get
A logged deletion record in the Deletions tab:
- Column A — Amplitude user IDs (your input, unchanged)
- Column B — Amplitude deletion job IDs returned by the API
- Column C — request status for each submission (accepted, failed, etc.)
The job IDs are your audit trail. If legal asks whether a specific user was deleted, column B has the Amplitude job ID to reference. Column C surfaces any failures immediately.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Deletion request workbooks are rarely clean. SheetXAI handles validation and logging in the same prompt.
When the column has duplicates
A user appears twice because the request came through two different channels.
Deduplicate the Amplitude user IDs in column A of the Deletions tab, keeping only unique values. Submit a bulk deletion request for the deduplicated list. Log job ID into column B and status into column C. Write the number of duplicates removed into cell E1.
When some rows have blank or invalid user IDs
A few rows in column A are empty or contain placeholder text from the legal export.
Filter column A of the Deletions tab to include only rows where the user ID is a non-empty value. Skip rows that are blank or contain non-numeric text. Submit Amplitude deletion requests for the valid user IDs. Log job ID in column B and status in column C. Write "SKIPPED — invalid ID" in columns B and C for excluded rows.
When the workbook has email addresses instead of Amplitude user IDs
Your legal team's workbook has emails, not Amplitude user IDs.
For each email address in column A of the Deletions tab, look up the corresponding Amplitude user ID using Amplitude's user lookup API and write it into column B. Then submit a GDPR deletion request for each resolved user ID and write the returned job ID into column C and status into column D.
When you need deduplication, validation, submission, logging, and a compliance summary all in one pass
Legal needs a one-page record of the entire submission run.
Deduplicate the user IDs in column A of the Deletions tab. Filter out blank or non-numeric rows. Submit Amplitude GDPR deletion requests for all valid unique user IDs. Log job ID in column B and status in column C. Write "SKIPPED" in those columns for excluded rows. Then write a compliance summary in cell E1 listing: total rows received, total submitted, total failed, total skipped.
The pattern: validation, deduplication, API submission, and compliance logging all happen in one prompt. The legal team gets a complete audit record.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any Excel workbook with a list of Amplitude user IDs, then ask it to submit bulk GDPR deletion requests and log the job IDs. The Amplitude integration is included in every plan. For related workflows, see how to export a cohort for enrichment or the Amplitude in Excel overview.
