The Scenario
You're a crypto treasury manager at a company that pays contractors and vendors in cryptocurrency. There are 25 outbound payments planned for this week — BTC and ETH, listed in an Excel workbook with recipient addresses and amounts. Before you can approve the batch, your CFO wants a fee breakdown: network fees, Plisio commission, total cost per row. The approval meeting is in two hours.
The bad version:
- Open Plisio's fee estimation documentation. Find the right endpoint for fee calculation.
- Write or adapt a script to call the API once per row. Debug the authentication. Handle the BTC and ETH endpoints differently because the parameters aren't identical.
- Paste the results back into the workbook manually after the script runs — and pray it didn't skip any rows.
Two hours isn't enough time to build a reliable fee-fetching script from scratch. The meeting is happening whether the data is ready or not.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook. It reads the withdrawal rows, calls Plisio's fee estimation endpoints, and writes the results back — one prompt, no scripting.
For each row in my 'Withdrawals' worksheet (columns: crypto symbol in column A, recipient address in column B, amount in column C), call Plisio to get the estimated network fee and commission breakdown, then write the results into columns D, E, and F.
What You Get
- Column D filled with the estimated network fee for each withdrawal (in the native crypto).
- Column E filled with the Plisio commission for that row.
- Column F filled with the total cost — network fee plus commission — so the CFO can see the all-in number per payment.
- Rows where Plisio can't estimate (unsupported coin, invalid address format) flagged rather than silently dropped.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some rows have amounts in USD, not in the native crypto
Before fetching fee estimates, convert the USD amounts in column C to their crypto equivalents using today's Plisio exchange rate, then call the fee estimation endpoint with the converted amounts and write everything — converted amount, network fee, and commission — into columns C through F.
You want to compare fee plans, not just get the default estimate
For each row in the 'Withdrawals' worksheet, fetch all available Plisio fee plans for that crypto symbol and write the plan names and costs into separate columns so I can compare normal, economy, and priority tiers side by side.
The withdrawals span two worksheets — BTC payments in one, ETH payments in another
Fetch fee estimates for all rows in both the 'BTC Payments' and 'ETH Payments' worksheets, writing the network fee and commission back into each worksheet in columns D and E respectively.
Full kill-chain: validate, estimate fees, calculate net amounts, flag rejections
Check each row in 'Withdrawals' for missing addresses or unsupported coins, fetch fee estimates for all valid rows, add a 'Net to Recipient' column that subtracts total fees from the gross amount, and mark any rows that exceed the per-transaction limit in red so I can split them before the approval meeting.
Validation, fee lookup, net calculation, and limit flagging in one pass.
