The Scenario
The compliance review landed on your desk Monday morning. Your team has a list of 80 partner and competitor domains that must be added to the Reply blacklist before the next outreach campaign goes live on Wednesday. The campaign is already built. The sequences are ready. All that stands between you and launch is this blocklist.
The bad version:
- Open Reply. Navigate to Settings, then Blacklist. Find the add-domain field.
- Type the first domain. Hit save. Scroll back to your Excel workbook. Copy the second domain. Open Reply. Type it. Hit save. Repeat.
- After twelve domains you accidentally duplicate one. After thirty you realize you have been adding email addresses instead of domains for the last five. Start checking your work.
Eighty domains done this way takes the better part of an hour. That hour belongs to your launch prep, not to data entry.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that can push data to Reply on your behalf. Give it the column, give it the destination, and it handles the calls.
Read all domains in column A of the Blacklist worksheet and add each one to the Reply blacklist, then write 'blocked' in column B next to each domain that succeeded
What You Get
- Each domain in column A sent to the Reply blacklist via the API.
- Column B updated with 'blocked' for every domain that was added successfully.
- Any row that failed — duplicate entry, invalid format — gets an error note in column B instead of silence.
- No manual clicking, no scrolling between windows, no accidentally skipped rows.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some entries in column A are full email addresses, not domains
Read column A of the Blacklist worksheet. For each entry, if it is a full email address extract the domain portion. Add each domain to the Reply blacklist and write 'blocked' or the error in column B
The domain list is split across two worksheets and needs to be combined first
Combine all domains from column A of the Blacklist worksheet and column A of the PartnerDomains worksheet into a single deduplicated list, add each to the Reply blacklist, and log the result in column B of the Blacklist worksheet
You want to verify the domains were actually added before marking them
Add all domains in column A of the Blacklist worksheet to the Reply blacklist, then fetch the current Reply blacklist and confirm each domain appears in it, writing 'verified' or 'not found' in column B
Validate format, dedup against the existing blacklist, add new ones only, and report the count
Fetch the current Reply blacklist. Compare against column A of the Blacklist worksheet. For entries not already blacklisted and formatted as valid domains, add them to the Reply blacklist, write 'added' in column B, write 'already blocked' for those already present, and put the total newly added count in cell C1
The column and the destination are the whole prompt. Validation and deduplication are just extra sentences.
