The Scenario
Your team submitted a 100,000-address list to NeverBounce on Tuesday morning. It's now Tuesday afternoon. The job is still running. Three people on the email marketing team have pinged you asking whether it's done — they're waiting to finalize the send schedule. You've been answering "still processing" based on a tab you refreshed twice an hour ago.
The bad version:
- Open NeverBounce, find the job, check the progress bar, note the numbers
- Open the tracking sheet, type in the numbers manually — processed count, valid count, percent done
- Post in Slack that you'll check again in an hour
- Repeat
The problem isn't that NeverBounce is slow. It's that there's no shared view of the current state. Every time someone asks, you're back in the dashboard writing down numbers. That's not a system — that's a person serving as a dashboard refresh button.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your sheet and through its NeverBounce integration it can fetch the live status of any running job and write the current metrics into the sheet — one prompt, one refresh, one row.
Check the status of NeverBounce job ID [JOB_ID] and write the job name, total emails, emails processed, percent complete, valid count, invalid count, and catchall count into row 2 of this sheet
What You Get
- Row 2 populated with the current job metrics: name, total, processed, percent complete, and counts by status
- A shareable snapshot the whole team can see without anyone logging into NeverBounce
- A row you can update by re-running the same prompt whenever the team asks for a refresh
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The job ID is in a cell rather than hardcoded
Get the current status of the NeverBounce job whose ID is in cell A1 and update columns B through H with: job name, total emails, processed count, percent complete, valid count, invalid count, catchall count
You want to track multiple jobs at once
Check the status of NeverBounce jobs with IDs listed in column A (rows 2 to 6) and write each job's processed count, percent complete, and valid count into columns B, C, and D on the matching row
You want a timestamp alongside the status so the team knows when it was last refreshed
Fetch the status of NeverBounce job ID [JOB_ID], write the metrics into row 2 (name, total, processed, percent, valid, invalid, catchall, unknown), and write the current timestamp into cell J2
Full live status chain with conditional alert
Get the status of NeverBounce job ID [JOB_ID], write all metrics into row 2, and if percent complete is 100, add "COMPLETE — READY TO DOWNLOAD" in cell K2; otherwise write "Still processing: X% done" in cell K2
The pattern: the status check is one prompt. The team sees the same numbers you see. No one needs a dashboard login.
