The Scenario
Last week you ran an NPS survey. Thirty contacts responded and indicated which product issues they cared most about — the survey mapped each respondent to the issue IDs they voted for. Now the data is in an Excel workbook: column A has the Productlane issue ID, column B has the contact ID.
The PM wants those upvotes in Productlane before the roadmap session Thursday.
The bad version:
- Open Productlane, search for the first issue ID, find the upvote button, and add each contact one by one from the workbook.
- After the third issue you realize one contact ID in the workbook is outdated and does not match a current Productlane record.
- The error is silent — you only notice later that the upvote count on that issue looks wrong.
There are 30 rows and the roadmap session is Thursday morning.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads each row and calls the Productlane API to record the upvote linking the contact ID in column B to the issue ID in column A, writing the result back row by row.
Use the issue IDs in column A and contact IDs in column B to bulk-create upvotes in Productlane for all 30 rows in this Excel workbook
What You Get
- A result written into column C for every row: either "done" or an error message
- Any row where the contact ID is invalid gets an error in column C so you can spot it immediately
- Any row where the issue ID is not found gets a separate error with enough context to investigate
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some contact IDs in column B are stale or missing
Before logging upvotes, verify that each contact ID in column B exists in Productlane — write "valid" or "invalid" into column D — then log upvotes only for rows where column D is "valid"
The workbook has duplicate issue-contact pairs
Identify any rows where the combination of column A and column B is duplicated — mark duplicates in column E — log upvotes only for the first occurrence of each pair and write "skipped: duplicate" in column C for the rest
You only want to log upvotes for a specific set of issue IDs
Log Productlane upvotes only for rows where column A matches one of the following issue IDs: [list] — write "done" or error into column C and skip all other rows
Full dedup, validation, and bulk creation in one pass
Deduplicate rows by the combination of column A and column B — mark duplicates in column E — validate contact IDs in column B and write "valid" or "invalid" into column D — create upvotes for all rows where column D is "valid" using the issue ID in column A — write "done" or error into column C
One prompt, one confirmed result set.
