The Scenario
Every Monday morning, the e-commerce platform drops a batch file into a shared folder. Last week it was 60 new customer orders. This week it's 71. Your job as order management specialist is to get every one of those orders into Dynamics 365 as sales order records before the warehouse team runs their pick list at 10 AM.
You've been doing this by hand since the integration with the e-commerce platform was "temporarily paused" eight months ago. Temporarily.
The bad version:
- Open the batch file, copy the order rows into a Google Sheet, remove the columns Dynamics doesn't need
- Open Dynamics 365, find the Sales Orders module, click "New" for order one, fill in customer ID, order name, and total amount, save
- Repeat 70 more times, tracking which rows you've entered on a sticky note so you don't lose your place
Seventy-one orders takes about 90 minutes to enter manually. The warehouse starts their pick at 10. You have until 9:45. You got the batch file at 9:08.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your order data, understands your column layout, and pushes records directly into Dynamics 365 through its built-in integration — no manual entry, no clicking through the New Record UI seventy-one times.
Create a Dynamics 365 sales order for each row in my Google Sheet using columns for order name, customer ID, and total amount, then write the new sales order ID back to the last column
What You Get
- One Dynamics 365 sales order created per row, with order name, customer linkage, and total amount populated
- Sales order IDs written to the rightmost column, one per row
- Rows that fail (invalid customer ID, missing required field) surface an error in that column instead of silently skipping
- You have a timestamped manifest of every order that went through — useful when the warehouse asks about order number 47
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Total amounts include currency symbols or commas
For each row in my Google Sheet, strip any currency symbols and commas from the total amount column, then create a Dynamics 365 sales order using the order name, customer ID, and cleaned amount, writing the sales order ID to the last column
Some rows have customer names instead of Dynamics account IDs
For each row in my Google Sheet where the customer column contains a name instead of an account ID, look up the matching Dynamics 365 account record and replace the value with the account ID, then create the sales order and write the record ID to the last column — flag any rows where the account could not be found
The batch file includes cancelled orders that should be skipped
Read my Google Sheet and skip any row where the status column says "cancelled" or "refunded", then create a Dynamics 365 sales order for every remaining row using the order name, customer ID, and amount columns, writing each sales order ID to the last column and noting skipped rows in a separate column
Clean amounts, resolve accounts, filter status, and push all orders in one pass
Strip currency symbols from the amount column, look up any account names in the customer column and resolve them to Dynamics account IDs, skip rows where the status column is "cancelled" or "refunded", then create a Dynamics 365 sales order for every remaining row and write the sales order ID to the last column — flag unresolvable accounts and skipped rows with reasons
Ask for the data cleanup and the record creation together. One prompt, one pass, done before 9:45.
