Bulk WHOIS and DNS Lookup on Vendor Domains in a Google Sheet Using Neutrino

The Scenario

Your procurement security team just got the list: 150 vendors that want to be added to your approved supplier list. Before any of them get approved, policy requires a domain security check — registration age, registrar, and whether the domain shows up on any known malicious flag lists. A domain registered last month, with a privacy-protected registrar and a security flag, is not getting approved.

You have all 150 domains in column A of a Google Sheet.

The bad version:

  • Open a WHOIS lookup tool, paste each domain one at a time, read the registration date, write it down
  • Repeat 150 times over about two hours, switching between the lookup tool and the sheet
  • Realize halfway through that three domains have slightly different registrars depending on which WHOIS server you hit, and now you're not sure which result to trust

You've spent the afternoon doing lookup work. The approval queue is still sitting at zero.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet. Through its built-in Neutrino integration, it runs domain lookups on every row in column A and writes the registration date, registrar, and security flags into the columns you specify.

For each domain in column A, run a Neutrino domain lookup and write the registration date, registrar, and any security risk flags into columns B, C, and D.

What You Get

  • Column B: registration date — immediately sortable to surface recently registered domains
  • Column C: registrar name
  • Column D: any security risk flags Neutrino returns — malware, phishing, spam infrastructure
  • All 150 domains processed in one pass — ready to review and approve or reject

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

You want to automatically flag domains registered less than 6 months ago

Look up all 150 domains in column A using Neutrino domain lookup. Write the registration date in column B and registrar in column C. Flag any domain registered less than 6 months ago as NEW DOMAIN in column D and flag any with security risk flags as RISKY in column E.

Some domains in column A include paths or protocols that need to be stripped

For each value in column A, extract just the registered domain (strip http, https, www, and any path). Write the cleaned domain in column B. Then run Neutrino domain lookup and write registration date in column C, registrar in column D, and security flags in column E.

You want to cross-reference against the vendor name in column B to produce a vendor-level summary

Run Neutrino domain lookup on all domains in column A. Write registration date in column C, registrar in column D, and security flags in column E. Then produce a summary table below the data showing, for each vendor in column B, their domain's registration date and whether any security flags were returned.

Full vendor vetting in one shot

Strip protocols and paths from all domains in column A, run Neutrino domain lookup on each, write registration date in column B, registrar in column C, and security flags in column D. Flag newly registered domains (under 6 months) as NEW DOMAIN in column E and any with security flags as RISKY in column F. Highlight RISKY rows red and NEW DOMAIN rows orange, then produce a summary at the bottom showing how many vendors are approved vs. need review.
