The Scenario
It's Thursday afternoon and Monday's outreach push is locked in. You've spent three days sourcing 250 LinkedIn leads — first name, last name, company domain — and all of them are sitting in a Google Sheet with no contact details at all. Not a single email address. Not a phone number. The sequencer is ready. The copy is written. The only thing missing is the actual contact data.
The bad version:
- Export the sheet as CSV, upload to Bettercontact's web UI, wait for enrichment, download a separate results file, and manually reconcile the new columns back into the original sheet row by row
- Discover midway through that 40 rows shifted order during the CSV export, so your VLOOKUP is returning mismatched emails for a quarter of the list
- Spend the next two hours fixing the merge while the rest of the prep sits unfinished
That reconciliation work isn't analysis. It's not strategy. Nobody put you on this account to paste columns between files. The Monday deadline doesn't move, and neither does the size of the list.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the data, connects to Bettercontact, submits the enrichment batch, waits for results, and writes the verified contact fields directly into the columns you specify — without an export, a download, or a reconciliation step.
Enrich all 250 rows in this sheet using first name (col A), last name (col B), and company domain (col C) — write verified work email and phone into columns D and E
What You Get
- Column D fills with verified work email addresses for every row where Bettercontact found a match
- Column E fills with direct phone numbers where available
- Rows where enrichment returned nothing are flagged in column F so you can see exactly which contacts need manual review before Monday
- Any rows that returned email only (no phone) are noted distinctly from rows that returned neither, so you can prioritize the gaps
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The domain column has inconsistent formatting
Some rows have "acme.com", some have "https://www.acme.com", and a few are blank altogether.
Normalize column C so all values are bare domains (strip http, www, trailing slashes) — then enrich all rows using col A (first name), col B (last name), col C (domain) and write verified email and phone into D and E
Some rows are missing a last name
You sourced some leads where only the first name and company are available.
For rows where col B (last name) is blank, enrich using only col A (first name) and col C (domain) — write whatever Bettercontact returns into D and E, and flag rows with partial input in col F
The sheet has multiple segments on separate tabs
Tab 1 is inbound leads, Tab 2 is outbound targets. You need both enriched and consolidated.
Enrich all rows on the "Inbound" tab (A–C) and the "Outbound" tab (A–C) using Bettercontact, then append all results into a new "Enriched" tab with a source column indicating which tab each lead came from
The kill chain — clean, deduplicate, enrich, and sort in one shot
Normalize company domains in col C (strip URLs to bare domain), deduplicate rows by domain + first name, enrich all remaining rows using Bettercontact with col A (first name), col B (last name), col C (domain), write verified email into D and phone into E, flag failed rows in F, and sort the sheet so enriched rows appear first
The pattern: tell SheetXAI what the data needs before enrichment and what you want to happen after — all in one ask.
