The Scenario
The reclassification is done. You are a data analyst who spent two weeks auditing account tiers. The result is an Excel workbook with 200 rows — company domain in column A, new account_tier in column B. Attio has these companies. Their tiers are wrong. The quarterly business review is next week and the segmentation needs to reflect the new classifications before anyone pulls a report.
You know what needs to happen: 200 API calls to Attio's update endpoint, each matching a company by domain and patching the account_tier attribute. You know how to write that script. You also know it would take you three hours you do not have this week.
The bad version:
- Open Attio, search each domain, open the company record, edit the account_tier field, save, next domain. Repeat 199 more times.
- Write the script — add it to the sprint, miss the QBR.
- Email the CRM admin, who will get to it when they can.
The data is in the workbook. The logic is simple. The only thing between the sheet and the CRM is 200 mechanical writes.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. Through its built-in Attio integration it reads each row, finds the company by domain, patches the account_tier attribute, and writes the result back.
Use the domain in column A and new industry classification in column B of each Excel row to patch the matching Attio company record; log the result in column C.
What You Get
- Column C fills with 'updated' for each company found and patched.
- Domains with no match in Attio show 'not found' — you know exactly which rows need investigation.
- All 200 patches run in one pass, not via the UI.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Domain formatting is inconsistent
"acme.com", "www.acme.com", "https://acme.com".
Normalize each domain in column A to bare format, then find the matching Attio company and update account_tier to column B; write 'updated' or 'not found' in column C.
You want to validate the tier value before patching
For each row, check that column B is one of: Enterprise, Mid-Market, SMB. If not, write 'invalid tier' in column C and skip. For valid rows, find the Attio company by domain and update account_tier; write 'updated' or 'not found' in column C.
You also need to patch a second attribute, segment_code, in the same pass
For each row, find the Attio company by domain in column A; update account_tier to column B and segment_code to column D; write the result in column C.
Normalize domains, validate tier, patch both attributes, and log in one pass
Normalize each domain in column A. Validate that column B is Enterprise, Mid-Market, or SMB. Validate that column D is non-empty. Flag invalid rows in column C. For valid rows, find the Attio company and patch both account_tier and segment_code; write 'updated' or 'not found' in column C.
