The Scenario
You are a data privacy officer. Your company's GDPR webform has been running for three months. You now have a Google Sheet with 200 rows of deletion requests — column A is the email address of the person requesting deletion.
Every one of those subscribers needs to be removed from Kit. You have 30 days from the date of each request to comply.
The bad version of this compliance task:
- You search for the first email in Kit
- You open the subscriber profile and click unsubscribe or delete
- You do that 199 more times
- You are on row 14 when your manager asks for a status update. You have nothing to show.
The fast version is one prompt, with a log.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads the email column and calls Kit's subscriber API to unsubscribe or delete each contact, then logs the result per row.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
For every email in column A of this sheet, find the matching Kit subscriber and delete them from Kit. Log the result in column B — write "deleted," "not found," or "error" for each row.
SheetXAI goes through all 200 rows, looks up each subscriber by email in Kit, deletes them, and logs the result in column B. Two hundred deletion requests, one prompt, a timestamped log per row.
What You Get
A completed deletion run with an audit log your compliance team can sign off on:
- "deleted" — subscriber was found in Kit and removed
- "not found" — email does not exist in Kit, so there is nothing to delete; this is a valid compliance outcome
- "error" — something went wrong on that row, flagged for manual follow-up
The log in column B is your compliance record. You can sort it, filter for "not found" rows (which you may need to document separately), and produce a summary count for your privacy officer's report.
If your regulatory requirement is "unsubscribe" rather than "delete" — because you need to retain the record of the request — change the prompt to unsubscribe instead of delete. SheetXAI handles either operation.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
GDPR deletion lists from webforms have real-world messiness. SheetXAI handles it inline.
When emails in the sheet have formatting issues
Some submissions have trailing spaces, uppercase letters, or typos.
Normalize all emails in column A to lowercase and trim whitespace before looking up each subscriber in Kit. Then delete each found subscriber and log "deleted," "not found," or "error" in column B.
When you need to unsubscribe rather than delete
Your legal team wants to retain the subscriber record for audit purposes but stop all email sends.
For every email in column A of this sheet, find the matching Kit subscriber and unsubscribe them (do not delete the record). Log "unsubscribed," "not found," or "error" in column B.
When you need to also remove them from a specific sequence before deleting
Some of the deletion requests are from subscribers mid-sequence. Deleting without removing them from the sequence first may cause issues in some Kit configurations.
For every email in column A, first remove the subscriber from any active sequences in Kit, then delete their subscriber record. Log the full result — "removed from sequences + deleted," "deleted (no active sequences)," "not found," or "error" — in column B.
When you want the full compliance report: process all deletions and produce a summary
Your privacy officer needs a summary alongside the row-level log.
Process all 200 deletion requests in column A. For each email, find the Kit subscriber and delete them, logging the result in column B. When done, write a summary in cells D1 through D5: total requests processed, total deleted, total not found in Kit, total errors, and a one-sentence statement suitable for a compliance report confirming the deletion run was completed.
The pattern: run the deletions and produce the compliance summary in one prompt.
