The Scenario
You are an e-commerce marketing manager at a DTC brand. You have been approved to run a Reddit Ads catalog sales campaign targeting relevant subreddits. The catalog needs to go live before the campaign can start. Your product workbook has 800 rows in the Products tab. The launch date is next Monday. Today is Wednesday.
The bad version:
- You discover Reddit Ads catalog upload requires a CSV in a specific column order that does not match your workbook
- You spend an hour reformatting, re-exporting, and re-uploading
- The upload returns a validation error on row 312 because the image URL column has a blank
- You fix it, re-upload, wait 20 minutes for processing
- The catalog shows 791 products loaded. You cannot identify the 9 that failed.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads the Products tab and pushes catalog data to Reddit Ads in batches, so you never reformat a CSV or manually diagnose a bulk upload error.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Upload all products in the Products tab to Reddit Ads catalog ID in cell A1. Use the product ID from column A, title from column B, URL from column C, image URL from column D, and price from column E. Upload in batches of 100 and write the upload status for each batch into column F.
SheetXAI sends the product data in batches of 100 and writes the status per batch back into column F as it goes. 800 products, eight batches, logged.
What You Get
800 products uploaded to your Reddit Ads catalog with a status log in column F:
- Rows 1-100 — "Batch 1: 100 products uploaded successfully"
- Rows 101-200 — "Batch 2: 100 products uploaded successfully"
- (continues through all batches)
- Any row with a validation error — "Batch 4: validation error — row 312 missing image_link"
The error log tells you exactly which row failed and why, not just that 9 products did not load.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Product workbooks almost never upload clean. SheetXAI handles the prep and the upload together.
When some rows are missing image URLs
A handful of products have blank image URL cells and will cause a validation error mid-batch.
Before uploading, check column D of the Products tab for blank image URLs. Write "SKIPPED — no image" into column F for any row missing an image URL. Upload the remaining rows to catalog ID in cell A1 in batches of 100 and write batch status into column F.
When price values have currency symbols
Column E has "$29.99" instead of "29.99" and the catalog API expects a plain number.
Strip the dollar sign from price values in column E of the Products tab. Then upload all products to catalog ID in cell A1 in batches of 100, using column A for product ID, column B for title, column C for URL, column D for image URL, and the cleaned price. Write batch status into column F.
When only one product category is relevant to this campaign
Your workbook has 800 products across categories but the campaign only targets the "Outerwear" category.
Filter the Products tab to rows where column G equals "Outerwear." Upload only those rows to Reddit Ads catalog ID in cell A1 in batches of 100. Write the batch upload status into column H.
When you need upload confirmation and a launch summary in one pass
You want one prompt that uploads, confirms the catalog count, and writes a launch note to paste in the project channel.
Upload all products in the Products tab to Reddit Ads catalog ID in cell A1, skipping rows with a blank image URL in column D. Upload in batches of 100 and log status per batch in column F. After all batches complete, fetch the total product count in the catalog from the API and write it into cell G1. Write a one-sentence launch summary into cell G2: catalog name, total products loaded, and date.
The pattern: the product data is in the workbook. The catalog upload is an API call. You describe both in one prompt and SheetXAI handles the batching, error logging, and confirmation.
