The Scenario
You are an email list manager. Last month's Mailcoach campaign had a higher bounce rate than usual. Your deliverability is starting to slip and the fix is straightforward: identify everyone who hard-bounced, pull them into a sheet, and delete them from the list before the next send.
The bounce data is in Mailcoach. The campaign UUID is in your notes. You need the bounces in a Google Sheet by end of day so you can hand off the cleanup to your list hygiene process.
The bad version:
- Open the Mailcoach dashboard
- Navigate to the campaign
- Export the bounce list as a CSV
- Open it in Google Sheets
- Realize it includes soft bounces mixed in with hard bounces
- Go back to the dashboard to figure out which is which
- Filter the CSV, re-export, reopen
- Now decide whether to delete the subscribers manually through the UI or hand the list off to someone else
- You leave the office with a cleanup job half done.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that can fetch the bounce list from any Mailcoach campaign and write it directly into your sheet.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Fetch all bounced subscribers from Mailcoach campaign [UUID] and write their email address and bounce type into this sheet — one row per bounce.
SheetXAI calls the Mailcoach campaign bounces endpoint, retrieves every bounce record, and writes each email and bounce type into the sheet. Hard bounces and soft bounces appear as separate values in the type column.
What You Get
A bounce list with one row per bounced subscriber:
- Email address — the subscriber's address as stored in Mailcoach
- Bounce type — hard or soft, directly from the Mailcoach API
You can filter to hard bounces immediately and decide whether to delete them from the list, route them to a re-engagement check, or hand them to a data vendor for validation.
If you want to go further, SheetXAI can call the Mailcoach delete endpoint for each hard bounce in the same prompt.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Bounce cleanup is usually a two-step process: export, then act. SheetXAI can collapse both into one prompt.
When you want to delete hard bounces immediately
You do not need to review the list first. Every hard bounce goes.
Pull the bounce list for Mailcoach campaign [UUID] into this sheet. Then call Mailcoach to delete each hard-bounced subscriber from list [UUID]. Write DELETED or ERROR in column C for each.
When you want to separate hard and soft bounces into different sheets
Your process handles them differently. Hard bounces get deleted, soft bounces get a re-engagement attempt.
Fetch bounces for campaign [UUID]. Create a 'Hard Bounces' sheet and a 'Soft Bounces' sheet. Route each bounce to the appropriate sheet based on the bounce type column.
When you want to cross-reference with your existing suppression list
Before deleting, you want to confirm these addresses are not already suppressed, to avoid a redundant API call per row.
Fetch all Mailcoach suppressions into the 'Suppressions' sheet. Fetch bounces for campaign [UUID] into the 'Bounces' sheet. For each bounce, check if the email is already suppressed. Write ALREADY_SUPPRESSED or DELETE_CANDIDATE in column C for each row in the Bounces sheet.
When you want to combine bounce data from multiple campaigns before acting
Your last three sends all had elevated bounce rates. You want to see the full set of addresses that bounced across all three before running a single cleanup.
Fetch bounces for campaign [UUID-1], [UUID-2], and [UUID-3]. Combine them into one sheet, deduplicate by email address, keeping the earliest bounce date. Then delete each unique bounced subscriber from Mailcoach list [UUID] and write DELETED or ERROR into column C.
The pattern: the export and the cleanup happen in one session, with the sheet as the audit log.
