The Scenario
You're a RevOps manager and the company just migrated its main product to a new subdomain. The old product URL is being sunsetted in 72 hours. Sixty existing Short.io links that live in an outbound email sequence, a partner portal, and several paid ad campaigns all still point to the old destination. If they're not updated before the migration cutover, every click through those links hits a 404.
Column A of your Excel workbook has the 60 link IDs. Column B has the new destination URL for each row. Column C has the updated UTM campaign string that the RevOps team agreed on for the new tracking period.
The bad version:
- Open Short.io, search for each link ID, click edit, paste the new URL into the destination field, update the UTM campaign field, save
- Repeat 60 times
- At link 45, realize you copy-pasted from a Slack message where someone had wrapped the URL in angle brackets and three of your earlier updates used the malformed version
The migration cutover is in 72 hours. The 60 links drive real revenue from active campaigns. If even one fails to redirect correctly, the damage is measurable before anyone notices.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads link IDs from column A, new URLs from column B, and new UTM values from column C, then updates every Short.io link in one pass.
Update all 60 Short.io link IDs in my Excel table: set their destination URL to column B and apply the title from column C to each one
What You Get
- All 60 Short.io links updated to the new destination URL from column B
- UTM campaign value set from column C for each link
- Column D shows a success or error note for each row so you can confirm every link before the migration cutover
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some destination URLs in column B have angle brackets or extra whitespace from a Slack paste
The new URLs were shared in a Slack channel and some were formatted with brackets or trailing characters.
Strip any surrounding angle brackets and trim whitespace from all values in column B before updating — then set the destination URL from column B and the UTM campaign from column C for each Short.io link ID in column A, writing the result status into column D
You want to verify each link currently points to the old domain before overwriting
You want a safety check: only update links that still point to the old subdomain.
For each link ID in column A, retrieve the current destination URL from Short.io first — if it contains "old-product.company.com", update it to column B and set the UTM campaign from column C; if not, write "skipped - current URL different" into column D
You also need to update the link title to reflect the new campaign name
The titles in Short.io still reference the old product name and they show in analytics reports.
For each Short.io link ID in column A, update the destination URL to column B, the UTM campaign to column C, and the link title to column D — write the update status into column E
Full validation plus bulk update before the migration cutover
Strip angle brackets and trim whitespace from column B, then for each Short.io link ID in column A where the current destination URL contains "old-product", update the destination to column B, UTM campaign to column C, and link title to column D — write the final status into column E for every row including skipped ones
Every link confirmed before the migration window opens.
