The Scenario
You're the school administrator for a private institution with 50 students enrolled for the next term. Each student owes a different fee — some are on scholarship partial, some have siblings discounts, some are paying for extracurriculars on top of tuition. Every amount is different. Every name has to be on the link so the payment receipt matches your enrollment records.
Someone handed you a Google Sheet with all 50 names in column A and the respective amounts in column B. Your job is to generate one Flutterwave payment link per student and paste it back into column C so the registrar can copy them into the individual email going out this afternoon.
The bad version:
- You open the Flutterwave dashboard, go to Payment Links, click Create, type the student's name, enter the amount, save the link, copy the URL, flip back to Sheets, find the right row, paste it in.
- Repeat that sequence 49 more times.
- Somewhere around student 23, you misread a row and create a link for ₦45,000 when the sheet says ₦54,000. You don't catch it until a parent calls.
The afternoon email is supposed to go out at 3 PM. It is 2:10 PM and you are on student 31.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet. It reads the student names and fee amounts directly from your columns, creates a Flutterwave payment link for each row, and writes the returned URL back into column C — without you touching the dashboard once.
For each row in the Students sheet, create a Flutterwave payment link using the student name from column A and fee amount from column B, then write the generated payment URL into column C
What You Get
- Column C fills with a unique Flutterwave payment URL for each student row.
- Each link is tied to the exact amount in column B — no transposing errors.
- The student name from column A appears in the payment link metadata so receipts match your enrollment records.
- Rows with missing or zero amounts in column B are flagged rather than silently skipped.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some rows in the sheet have blank amounts — you need to skip those
For each row in the Students sheet where column B is not blank and greater than zero, create a Flutterwave payment link using the student name from column A and fee amount from column B, then write the generated payment URL into column C. Leave column C blank for rows with no amount.
The amounts are in a mix of NGN and USD depending on the student's billing currency in column C
For each row in the Students sheet, create a Flutterwave payment link using the student name from column A, the fee amount from column B, and the currency from column C (either NGN or USD), then write the generated payment URL into column D
You need to add a link expiry date of 30 days from today for each link
For each row in the Students sheet with a name in column A and amount in column B, create a Flutterwave payment link that expires 30 days from today, and write the payment URL into column C and the expiry date into column D
You need to handle duplicates, validate amounts, generate the links, and write them back in one pass
Check the Students sheet for duplicate names in column A and flag them in column E. Then for each unique row with a valid positive amount in column B, create a Flutterwave payment link using the name and amount, write the URL into column C, and write today's date plus 30 days as the expiry into column D
The underlying move: every data check and the API call itself can go into one prompt. You don't need to clean the sheet, then come back and generate the links separately.
