The Scenario
The person who set up your Fomo notifications left the company six weeks ago. Before they went, they bulk-created 300 events from an order export — but the export had bad data: several cities listed as state abbreviations, a handful of product names pulled from internal SKU codes instead of display names, and about 30 rows where the customer first name got cut off mid-character. You've got a Google Sheet with the correct values for each broken event — the Fomo event ID in column A, the corrected city in column B, the corrected product name in column C. You need all 30 fixed before a case study goes live that references the notification feed.
The bad version:
- Open Fomo, search for the first event ID, navigate to the edit screen, update the city field, save, go back to the list
- Repeat for each of the 30 rows — each one requires three clicks plus a search before you can make the edit
- Discover partway through that two of the event IDs in the sheet don't match anything in Fomo — they might have been deleted, or the IDs might be wrong — and now you have to figure out which events they were supposed to correspond to
Thirty manual edits is about 45 minutes of work you weren't supposed to be doing today. The case study isn't waiting.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the correction sheet and talks to Fomo's API directly — looking up each event by ID and updating the specified fields, then writing back the result so you know which edits landed.
For each row in this sheet, find the Fomo event by external ID in column A and update the event's city to column B and product name to column C
What You Get
- Each Fomo event matched by the ID in column A and updated with the new city and product values
- A status written back to column D: "updated" for successful edits, the error message for any IDs that returned a 404 or other failure
- No silent skips — if the API rejects an update, you see exactly which row and why
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some product names in column C have inconsistent capitalization — fix them before updating Fomo
For each row in this sheet: title-case the product name in column C, then find the Fomo event by ID in column A and update the city from column B and the cleaned product name — write the result to column D
I want to look up events by customer email instead of event ID
Look up each Fomo event by the email address in column A of this sheet and update the event's title field with the corrected value in column B — write "updated" or the error message to column C
Some rows have a blank city in column B — skip those and only update the product name
For each row in this sheet: if column B is not blank, update both the city and product name in Fomo using the event ID in column A; if column B is blank, only update the product name from column C — write the outcome to column D
Pull the current field values first so I can verify what changed before and after
For each event ID in column A: fetch the current Fomo event and write the existing city and product name to columns B and C — then update those fields with the values from columns D and E, and write "updated" or the error to column F
One prompt handles the preflight check and the updates, so you have a before-and-after record without running two separate passes.
