The Scenario
A product was discontinued six months ago. The marketing coordinator who owned the Linkly workspace left, and nobody cleaned up after her. There are 60 campaign links in the workspace pointing at URLs that no longer exist or now redirect to competitors. Finance flagged the workspace in a tool audit last Tuesday. The link IDs are in column A of a sheet. Some of those rows are marked "expired" in column B.
The bad version:
- Open Linkly, search for the first link ID, verify it's the right one, click delete, confirm the deletion prompt
- Repeat for 60 links — or try to select them in bulk in the Linkly UI only to discover the bulk-select has a page limit of 20
- Come back for the next 40, then the last 20, then re-check because the count doesn't match
The audit is next Thursday. Sixty manual deletions with a modal confirmation every time isn't something you schedule time for — it's something you resent every minute it's happening.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the link IDs, calls Linkly's delete endpoint for each one, and writes confirmation back into the sheet — without any page-by-page UI navigation.
Delete all Linkly links whose IDs are listed in column A of this sheet
What You Get
- Every link ID in column A is deleted from the Linkly workspace
- Column B is written with "Deleted" or an error note for each row — giving you an audit trail you can screenshot for Thursday's review
- If a link ID doesn't exist (already deleted or was a typo), the error is noted per row rather than stopping the whole operation
- The operation completes in one pass — no page limits, no per-row confirmation prompts
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Only delete the rows flagged "expired" in column B
Not every link in the sheet should go. Column B has "expired" or "active."
Remove every Linkly link in column A where column B says "expired" from the workspace and write the deletion status into column C
First verify that each link still exists before deleting
The sheet was assembled from a months-old export. Some links may already be gone.
For each Linkly link ID in column A where column B says "expired": check if the link still exists in Linkly, delete it if so, and write the outcome (Deleted, Already Gone, or Error) into column C
The link IDs are in a "Cleanup" tab but the rest of the workspace data is in a master sheet
Delete all Linkly links listed in column A of the Cleanup tab and write the deletion result for each row into column B of that same tab
Check, filter by status, verify existence, delete, and audit — in one shot
For each row in the Cleanup tab where column B says "expired": check if the Linkly link in column A still exists, delete it if so, and write the result (Deleted, Already Gone, or Error) into column C — then add a summary row at the bottom counting how many were deleted, how many were already gone, and how many errored
Column C becomes the audit evidence. Thursday's review has what it needs.
