The Scenario
After a CSV import last month, there are 120 duplicate contact records in NetHunt CRM. You found them using a deduplication report. The record IDs to be deleted are sitting in column A of your sheet. Column B is blank — and it needs to say DELETED or FAILED for each row before this goes to the data steward for sign-off.
The bad version:
- Open NetHunt CRM, use the search to find the first record ID, open the record, click delete, confirm the deletion.
- Go back to the sheet, type DELETED in column B, copy the next ID, go back to NetHunt.
- Do this 120 times. Lose your place around row 60. Delete the wrong record once.
120 records is the number where a manual process stops being tedious and starts being a liability.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet. It reads the record IDs from column A, calls the NetHunt CRM delete API for each one, and writes the result — DELETE SUCCESS or ERROR — into column B in the same row. You get a written audit trail without doing any of the clicking.
Delete every NetHunt CRM record whose ID appears in column A of my sheet and write DELETE SUCCESS or ERROR into column B for each row
What You Get
- Column B populated for every row: DELETE SUCCESS if the record was removed, ERROR if the call failed.
- Failed rows do not halt the process — SheetXAI continues through the full list and flags failures individually.
- The original record IDs in column A are untouched.
- If an ID does not exist in NetHunt, the row gets ERROR with a note that the record was not found.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some rows in column A are blank — skip them
For each non-empty cell in column A of my sheet, attempt to delete the corresponding NetHunt CRM record and write DELETE SUCCESS or ERROR into column B. Leave column B blank for rows where column A is empty.
I want to add a timestamp to each result in column C
Delete each NetHunt CRM record whose ID is in column A of my sheet, write DELETE SUCCESS or ERROR into column B, and write the current timestamp into column C for each processed row
I need to do a dry run first — check which IDs still exist before deleting
For each record ID in column A of my sheet, check whether that NetHunt CRM record still exists. Write EXISTS or NOT FOUND into column B without deleting anything. I will review the results before running the actual deletion.
Full cleanup: deduplicate the ID list first, delete, then summarize the outcome
First, scan column A of my sheet and remove any duplicate record IDs, marking duplicates with DUPLICATE SKIPPED in column B. Then delete each unique remaining record from NetHunt CRM and write DELETE SUCCESS or ERROR in column B. Finally, add a summary row at the bottom showing total deleted, total failed, and total skipped.
Running dedup, deletion, and summary in one instruction means the sign-off sheet is complete and accurate the first time.
