The Scenario
You are a nonprofit development director. The board finance committee meets Thursday at 10 AM. They want a transaction-level report of every donation that came in during last month's Givebutter campaign — 450 transactions across four campaigns.
It is Wednesday morning. You have one day.
The bad version of this Wednesday:
- Log into Givebutter, go to Transactions, filter by date range, export CSV
- Open the file in Sheets, discover the column headers do not match the board template
- Manually reorder columns, rename headers, delete the ones finance does not care about
- Realize the export only shows 100 rows per page and you have four campaigns to merge
- Run the same export four times, paste them together, check for duplicates
- You submit the report with 412 rows instead of 450 and nobody catches it until the meeting.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that reads your Givebutter account directly, so you do not have to export, reformat, or merge anything by hand.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Pull all Givebutter transactions from the last 30 days and list them in this sheet with columns: donor name, email, amount, campaign name, date, and payment method. Sort by campaign name ascending, then by date descending within each campaign. Add a row at the bottom totaling amount by campaign.
SheetXAI calls Givebutter's API, pulls every transaction across all campaigns, formats the output to match what you described, and writes the totals row. The whole thing goes into the current sheet exactly as you asked.
What You Get
A ready-to-use transaction report with:
- All 450 transactions — no pagination limit, no missed pages
- Donor name, email, amount, campaign, date, payment method — the columns finance actually uses
- Sorted by campaign, then date — so the committee can follow the timeline
- Totals row — amount per campaign at the bottom
You do not touch Givebutter's UI or a CSV file. The report is in the sheet and ready to share.
If the committee wants a pivot by donor instead of by campaign, you tell SheetXAI to re-sort and add a per-donor total column. It does not need to re-fetch; it just reorganizes what is already in the sheet.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Real Givebutter exports rarely come out perfectly clean. SheetXAI handles cleanup and the pull in the same prompt.
When donor names are inconsistently formatted
Some donors gave under "Jane Smith," others under "Smith, Jane," others under their organization name. Your board template groups by donor.
Pull all Givebutter transactions from the last 30 days. Normalize the donor name column so individual donors use "First Last" format and organizations keep their full name. Then sort by normalized donor name and add a subtotal per donor in column G.
When you need to exclude test transactions
Your team ran a few test donations during campaign setup. They are real transactions in Givebutter but should not appear in the board report.
Fetch all Givebutter transactions from the last 30 days. Exclude any row where the donor email ends in @givebutter.com or where the amount is $0.01 or $1.00. List the remaining transactions in this sheet with the standard columns plus a flag column showing 'excluded' for the ones filtered out.
When you only want transactions above a minimum gift size
The board finance committee only reviews gifts of $25 or more. Smaller gifts go to a separate operations report.
Pull all Givebutter transactions from the last 30 days where the amount is $25 or more. Put them in this sheet with donor name, email, amount, campaign name, and date. Write the total count and total amount at the top of column G.
When you need the full donor picture, not just the transaction list
The finance committee also wants to see cumulative giving per donor, not just this month's gifts.
Fetch all Givebutter transactions from the last 30 days. List every transaction in this sheet with the standard columns. Then add column G: for each donor, calculate their total giving across all campaigns in Givebutter (not just last month) and write it in column G. Highlight rows in red where this month's gift is their first ever donation.
The pattern: instead of pulling the data and then figuring out what to do with it, you tell SheetXAI what you need and it handles both steps in sequence.
