The Scenario
You're a lead generation researcher at a B2B services firm. You've spent two weeks building a Google Sheet of 60 target prospects — executive names, titles, company domains — sourced from LinkedIn, conference lists, and a handful of referrals. Every row has a full name in column A and a company domain in column B. None of them have email addresses yet.
Your account manager needs this list in the outreach tool by end of week. You're the one who has to find the emails.
You know the formats: firstname.lastname@domain, firstname@domain, f.lastname@domain. You could guess at each one. You could also spend three hours cross-referencing Hunter or Clearbit manually, copying results into the sheet one by one, and still end up with a confidence score you don't fully trust because you ran out of free lookups and started guessing at row 40.
The bad version:
- Open a contact finder tool, paste in the first name and domain, copy the suggested email and confidence score back to the sheet
- Move to the next row, repeat — 60 times
- Reach row 45 and realize the confidence score format you've been pasting changed when the tool updated its UI last week, so the last 15 rows have a different format than the first 45
Sixty lookups is not much data. But it's enough manual repetition that the quality degrades before you finish, and your account manager is already asking for an ETA.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads each row, passes the name and domain to EmailListVerify's contact-finder endpoint, and writes the best-match email and confidence score back to the sheet — all 60 rows in one pass.
For each row in my "Prospect Research" tab where column A is full name and column B is company domain, use EmailListVerify to find the most likely business email and write it to column C and the confidence level to column D
What You Get
- Column C: best-match email address found for that name and domain
- Column D: confidence score or level returned by the API (numeric or categorical depending on the endpoint response)
- Rows where no email could be found are flagged with a note rather than left blank, so you know to research them separately
- Format is consistent across all 60 rows — no mid-batch UI changes to account for
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Names are formatted inconsistently — some "First Last," some "Last, First"
Normalize the names in column A of the "Prospect Research" tab to "First Last" format before passing them to EmailListVerify's contact-finder, then write the found email to column C and confidence to column D
You only want to attempt lookups for high-priority prospects
For rows in the "Prospect Research" tab where column E is marked "Priority," use EmailListVerify to find the business email using name (column A) and domain (column B), and write results to columns C and D — skip all non-priority rows
Some domains return multiple email format suggestions and you want to see them all
For each row in the "Prospect Research" tab where column A is full name and column B is company domain, use EmailListVerify's contact-finder and write the top email match to column C, the confidence to column D, and any alternative formats returned to column E
Research, find, verify, and score in one shot
For each row in the "Prospect Research" tab where column A is full name and column B is company domain, find the most likely business email via EmailListVerify, write it to column C and confidence to column D, then run single-email verification on the found address and write deliverability status to column E — so I have a verified, confidence-scored list ready to hand off
Ask for the discovery and the verification in one prompt — SheetXAI handles the full pipeline without a second pass.
