The Scenario
You are an events coordinator at a nonprofit. The spring gala is three weeks out. You are launching the Givebutter ticketing page today, and you have five ticket tiers to configure: VIP Table, Individual VIP, General Admission, Young Professional, and Virtual.
All five are planned out in a Google Sheet: tier name, price, quantity available, and a short description.
The slow version:
- Open Givebutter, navigate to the gala campaign, click Add Tickets
- Type in the tier name, set the price, set the quantity, add the description
- Save, click Add Tickets again for the next tier
- Accidentally set VIP Table quantity to 10 instead of 1 (table, not seats)
- Catch it after 12 tables are oversold because you did not notice until the confirmation emails went out.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that reads each ticket tier row and creates it in Givebutter under the right campaign.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Create a Givebutter ticket tier for each row in the 'Ticket Tiers' sheet. Column A is the tier name, column B is the price, column C is the quantity available, column D is the description. All tiers go under campaign ID in cell A1 of the 'Config' tab. Write the returned ticket ID into column E.
SheetXAI reads the campaign ID from the Config tab, iterates through the five tier rows, creates each via Givebutter's API, and writes the returned ticket IDs to column E.
What You Get
Five live Givebutter ticket tiers with:
- Correct tier names, prices, and quantities — read from the sheet, no manual entry
- Descriptions included — Givebutter shows these to buyers during checkout
- Ticket IDs in column E — useful if you need to reference specific tiers later (for discount codes, for instance)
- No fat-finger errors — the price and quantity come directly from the cells you already reviewed
The Givebutter ticketing page is live and accurate before your lunch break.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Ticket planning sheets always have a few rough edges.
When prices are formatted with currency symbols
Some rows have "$250" in the price column, others have "250." Givebutter's API expects a plain number.
Normalize the price column (column B) to remove any dollar signs or commas. Then create a Givebutter ticket tier for each row in the Ticket Tiers sheet using tier name in column A, normalized price, quantity in column C, and description in column D. Write the returned ticket IDs into column E.
When one tier should have unlimited availability
The Virtual tier has no hard limit. The quantity cell is blank.
For rows where quantity in column C is blank, create the Givebutter ticket tier with unlimited availability. For rows with a quantity, use that value. Create all tiers under the campaign ID in cell A1 of the Config tab and write the ticket ID into column E.
When you want to add an early-bird discount code tied to the General Admission tier
The GA ticket is $150 but you want an early-bird code for $120 that expires in two weeks.
Create the five ticket tiers from the Ticket Tiers sheet using the standard fields. For the row where the tier name is 'General Admission', also create a discount code called 'EARLY2026' that sets the price to $120 and expires on May 27 2026. Write the ticket ID into column E and the discount code ID into column F.
When you need to create tiers across multiple campaigns at once
You have eight chapter campaigns from the planning sheet and each has its own ticket tier set on a per-chapter tab.
For each chapter tab in this workbook (tabs named by chapter code: NYC, BOS, CHI, etc.), read the ticket tier rows and create the corresponding Givebutter ticket tiers under the campaign ID listed in cell A1 of that tab. Write the returned ticket IDs back into column E of each tab.
The pattern: one prompt covers the full ticket setup, including edge cases like unlimited tiers and discount codes.
