The Scenario
The onboarding specialist who handled your top 80 accounts left last month. Before she went, she kept an Excel workbook of onboarding notes — one row per customer ID, one column of notes she'd collected during setup calls. Those notes need to exist inside Ascora, attached to each customer record, so whoever inherits the accounts can see them without hunting through a departed colleague's workbook.
The bad version:
- Open Ascora. Search for customer ID from row one. Open the record. Click "Add Note." Paste the note from column B. Save.
- Repeat for 80 rows.
- Get to row 40, realize you pasted the wrong note because the rows looked similar, go back, fix it.
- Block out the afternoon. This is going to take a while.
Notes shouldn't require 80 separate UI interactions to attach to 80 records.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the customer ID and note text from each row and through its Ascora integration creates a note on each customer record in one operation.
Read the Excel table 'JobNotes' — column A is the Ascora job entity ID and column B is the note text. Create one note per row in Ascora and write 'Done' in column C when complete.
What You Get
- One Ascora note created per workbook row, attached to the entity matching the ID in column A.
- "Done" written into column C for each successfully processed row.
- Rows that fail — invalid ID, blank note text — surface with an error message in column C rather than stopping the rest.
- When complete, every customer or job in Ascora has the onboarding context the next account manager needs.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Notes are written in first person and should be prefixed with the previous rep's name
Before creating notes, prepend 'Note from Sarah Chen: ' to each entry in column B. Then for each row, create an Ascora note on the customer with the ID in column A using the updated column B as the note content. Write 'Done' in column C when complete.
Some rows have blank customer IDs — the workbook has gaps from records the previous rep never linked
Skip any row where column A is blank. For all rows with a customer ID in column A, create an Ascora note using the text in column B as the note content. Write 'Done' in column C for completed rows and 'Skipped — no ID' for blank rows.
Notes need to go to jobs, not customers — the IDs in column A are job entity IDs
For each row in the 'JobNotes' table, create an Ascora note on the entity with the ID in column A (type: job), using the text in column B as the note content. Write 'Done' in column C when complete.
Full handover operation: prefix names, skip blanks, attach notes, write a completion summary
Prepend 'Handover note from Sarah Chen: ' to each entry in column B. Skip any row where column A or column B is blank — write 'Skipped' in column C. For all other rows, create an Ascora note on the customer with the ID in column A. Write 'Done' in column C for each successful row and the error message for any that fail. When all rows are processed, write a summary in cell D1 showing how many notes were created and how many were skipped.
One prompt to close out a handover that would otherwise consume an afternoon.
