The Scenario
You are on a platform team. Your product is multi-tenant: 30 customer subaccounts, each needing its own branded sender identity in SendGrid. The data is all in an Excel workbook: from_name, from_email, reply_to, address, city, country — one row per subaccount on the Senders tab.
Provisioning 30 sender identities by hand means 30 trips through SendGrid's Sender Management UI.
The slow version:
- Open SendGrid, click "Create New Sender" 30 times
- Fill in the fields from each row one by one
- Miss two fields on row 14
- Find out when the customer's transactional emails start failing
- Redo row 14
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that reads your sender identity rows and creates them all in SendGrid in one pass, writing the returned IDs and verification statuses back into the workbook.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Create a sender identity in SendGrid for each row in the Senders tab using columns: from_name (A), from_email (B), reply_to_email (C), address (D), city (E), country (F). Write the returned sender ID in column G and the verification status in column H.
SheetXAI creates all 30 sender identities and writes the results back. The workbook is your provisioning record.
What You Get
A fully populated workbook with two new columns per row:
- Column G — the SendGrid sender ID, needed for any future API operations
- Column H — the verification status (pending, verified, or an error message)
You know immediately which identities need follow-up before any customer notices a problem.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
When email addresses use inconsistent domain capitalization
Lowercase all email addresses in columns B and C. Then create a SendGrid sender identity for each row and write the sender ID and verification status in columns G and H.
When reply_to_email is blank for some rows
For each row, if column C (reply_to_email) is blank, use the value from column B (from_email) as the reply_to. Create a SendGrid sender identity for each row and write the sender ID in column G and verification status in column H.
When you want to audit existing senders before provisioning new ones
Get all existing SendGrid verified senders and write each sender's nickname, from_email, verification status, and locked status into this workbook, one row per sender. Then compare to the rows in the Pending tab and flag any from_email that already exists in SendGrid as 'DUPLICATE' in column I.
When you need to provision, verify status, and flag unverified ones in one pass
Create a SendGrid sender identity for each row using columns A through F. Write the sender ID in column G and verification status in column H. For any row where column H does not say 'verified', write 'NEEDS FOLLOW-UP' in column I. Then on a new tab called Provisioning Log, write a summary: how many identities were created, how many verified immediately, and how many need follow-up.
The pattern: provision all 30, classify the results, flag the problems, and log the run in one prompt.
