The Scenario
Your SaaS company is going live on twelve new client subdomains next Tuesday. The security checklist includes whitelisting every domain in Spotlightr so embedded videos play on client sites. DevOps put all twelve domain strings into an Excel workbook yesterday — column A, one per row, ready to go. The go-live is in five days.
The Spotlightr domain whitelist is managed in account settings. One domain at a time.
The bad version:
- Open Spotlightr, navigate to Account Settings, find the Embedding section, click "Add Domain," type the first domain from the workbook, save.
- Go back to Excel. Read the second domain. Switch back to Spotlightr settings. Click "Add Domain" again. Type it. Save.
- Twelve domains means twelve round-trips through the settings panel, with the real risk of a typo that breaks a client's video embed at launch.
One mistyped character means a broken video player on a client site at exactly the wrong moment.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the domain list from column A and calls the Spotlightr API to whitelist each one — then writes the result back into column B.
Read the "Approved Domains" column in my Excel table and whitelist each one in Spotlightr for video embedding.
What You Get
- Each domain in the Approved Domains column submitted to Spotlightr's embedding whitelist.
- "Added" written into the result column for every domain that succeeds.
- The exact error message for any domain that fails — so you know exactly which ones need attention.
- The workbook becomes your audit log for the go-live checklist.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some domains have protocol prefixes that Spotlightr doesn't accept
For each domain in column A, strip any leading "https://" or "http://" before submitting to Spotlightr's embedding whitelist. Write "Added" or the error into column B.
Some domains are already whitelisted from a previous setup
Add each domain in column A to Spotlightr's embedding whitelist. If a domain is already whitelisted, write "already exists" into column B and continue — do not stop the batch.
Domains are spread across two columns — primary domains and staging subdomains
Whitelist every domain in column A and every domain in column B of this workbook in Spotlightr. Write the result into column C for column A domains and column D for column B domains.
You want the whitelist updated AND a confirmation count written into the workbook header
Add every domain in column A to Spotlightr's embedding whitelist and write "Added" or "already exists" or the error into column B. After all rows are processed, write a summary into cell D1: total newly added and total already existing.
You hand the workbook to DevOps. The go-live checklist has a green row.
