The Scenario
You are the partnerships manager at a marketplace platform built on CloudCart. You have signed 60 new supplier brands and the platform launches in two weeks. Each supplier has submitted their brand name and logo URL through an onboarding form, which you have downloaded into a Google Sheet.
Every brand needs to exist as a vendor in CloudCart before any of their products can be listed.
The dashboard approach:
- Open CloudCart vendors
- Click "Add vendor"
- Type the name, paste the logo URL
- Save, click "Add vendor" again
- Repeat 60 times
- Lose track on row 43 of which brands you have already added
- Spend the afternoon cross-checking the CloudCart vendor list against the sheet, row by row.
One prompt replaces the afternoon.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet that reads the vendor list and creates every record in CloudCart.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Create a CloudCart vendor for every row in this sheet using the name in column A and the image URL in column B. Write the CloudCart vendor ID into column C for each successful row. List any failures in column D with the reason.
SheetXAI works through all 60 rows, posts each vendor to CloudCart, and writes results back to the sheet. Sixty vendors created, sixty IDs in column C.
What You Get
A complete vendor onboarding with confirmation:
- 60 CloudCart vendors created — name and logo URL from the sheet
- Column C with vendor IDs — a record of every vendor created, suitable for cross-referencing product imports later
- Column D failure log — any vendors that failed to create with a specific reason
The vendor IDs in column C become the reference for the product import step. When the suppliers send their product catalogs, you already have the correct vendor IDs mapped to each brand name in the same sheet.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Supplier onboarding data from a form always has issues.
When logo URLs are broken or missing
Some suppliers submitted placeholder text instead of a real URL. You want to create the vendor records anyway, using a default logo, and flag the ones that need a real logo.
For any row in column B where the value is blank or does not start with "http", substitute the default logo URL https://cdn.sheetxai.com/placeholder-vendor.png and flag the row in column E. Then create all CloudCart vendors using columns A and B.
When brand names have inconsistent capitalization
Some suppliers submitted their names in all caps, others in mixed case, and a few in lowercase. You want title case across the board.
Convert all values in column A to title case. Then create CloudCart vendors using the formatted names in column A and the image URLs in column B.
When duplicate vendor names appear from form re-submissions
Some suppliers filled out the onboarding form twice. You want one record per unique brand name.
Deduplicate the sheet by column A (vendor name), keeping the first occurrence of each name. Then create CloudCart vendors for the deduplicated list and write vendor IDs into column C.
When you need the full cleanup and import in one pass
Mixed capitalization, broken logo URLs, duplicate submissions, and you need a clean vendor list plus vendor IDs for the product import phase.
Deduplicate by column A keeping the first occurrence. Convert all column A values to title case. For any column B value that is blank or does not start with "http", use the default logo https://cdn.sheetxai.com/placeholder-vendor.png and flag the row in column E. Then create CloudCart vendors for all rows using the cleaned columns A and B. Write vendor IDs into column C and failures into column D.
The pattern: normalize the data, create the records, and capture the IDs, all in one prompt.
