Retrieve Doppler Import Errors Into a Google Sheet for Correction

The Scenario

Your data team ran a bulk import of 5,000 contacts to Doppler last night. This morning there's an import task report waiting: 312 failed. The task log in Doppler shows the error count but the UI doesn't make it easy to see which records failed and why — you'd have to click through individual error entries to piece together the list.

You're the operations lead. Your job right now is to get those 312 records into a sheet, understand why they failed, fix the issues, and queue a re-import before the campaign goes out this afternoon.

The bad version:

  • Open the Doppler import task report, find the failed contacts section, and start copying email addresses and error messages out of the UI one by one.
  • Paste them into a Google Sheet. Format the two columns. Go back for the next batch.
  • Discover there are 312 of them and the UI shows 25 at a time.

You're doing thirteen pages of manual copy-paste for a report that should take thirty seconds to generate. The campaign window is this afternoon.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your data and through its built-in Doppler integration it can retrieve the import error details from the API and write them directly into a sheet — so you go straight from error report to correction workflow.

Fetch all import task errors for Doppler task ID 7812 and write the failed email addresses and error reasons into a new 'Import Errors' sheet so I can correct and re-upload them.

What You Get

  • A new 'Import Errors' sheet tab created in your workbook.
  • Column A: the failed email address (or the raw field value that failed validation).
  • Column B: the error reason returned by Doppler's API (invalid email format, missing required field, duplicate, etc.).
  • All 312 rows written at once — not 25 at a time from a UI.
  • A total error count written into cell C1 so you have the number at a glance.

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

You don't know the task ID — you want to pull errors from the most recent import

Look up the most recent import task for my Doppler account, retrieve its errors, and populate the 'Failed Contacts' sheet with each bad record's email and validation error message.

The original contact data is still in the sheet and you want to match the errors back to the source rows

Fetch all errors for Doppler import task ID 7812, then for each failed email address, find the matching row in the 'Contacts' sheet and mark column F with the error reason. Leave column F blank for rows that imported successfully.

You want to automatically fix the most common error (trailing whitespace in email) and flag the rest for manual review

Retrieve all errors for Doppler import task ID 7812. For each failed record where the error is 'invalid email format', check if trimming whitespace would fix it and if so, write the corrected email into column C. For all other error types, write 'Manual review needed' in column C. Write email, error reason, and suggested fix into the 'Import Errors' sheet.

Full error retrieval, triage, correction, and re-import prep in one pass

Fetch all errors for the most recent Doppler import task. Write email and error reason into the 'Import Errors' sheet. Auto-correct whitespace and casing issues where possible and flag them as 'Auto-fixed' in column C. For records with unfixable errors, write 'Remove' in column C. Then write all auto-fixed records into a new 'Re-import Ready' sheet, deduplicated by email.

One prompt takes you from the error report to a clean re-import list — without thirteen pages of manual copying.
