The Scenario
You are a sales development rep. Your manager set up a PhantomBuster storage list called "Series-A Startups 2025" three weeks ago with leads scraped from LinkedIn. There are leads in there. You have been told to start outreach this week.
You need every lead from that list in a Google Sheet, with name, email, LinkedIn URL, and company, before you can build the sequence in your outreach tool.
The bad version of this Monday morning:
- You open PhantomBuster and find the storage section
- You locate the "Series-A Startups 2025" list after clicking around for five minutes
- There is no direct export button for a specific list, only a global CSV export
- You download the global export, which has 4,000 rows across all your lists
- You filter for the rows that belong to the right list, but there is no list name column in the CSV
- You send a Slack message to your manager asking how to tell which rows belong to which list
- You wait until Tuesday for a response and your outreach window has shifted by a day.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that can query PhantomBuster storage by list name or list ID directly, so you never have to download the global export and filter it by hand.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Fetch all leads in the PhantomBuster storage list named 'Series-A Startups 2025' and write each lead's first name, last name, email, LinkedIn URL, and company into this Google Sheet.
SheetXAI finds the storage list by name, paginates through all the leads in that list, and writes each one into your sheet with the fields you specified. You get exactly the leads from that list, in a clean sheet, with no filtering required.
What You Get
A Google Sheet containing every lead in the "Series-A Startups 2025" list, with the fields you need to start your sequence:
- Column A — first name
- Column B — last name
- Column C — email address
- Column D — LinkedIn profile URL
- Column E — company name
The sheet is ready to import into your outreach sequencer. No filtering, no column renaming, no comparison with a global export.
If the list has more leads than fit in a single API page, SheetXAI handles the pagination and writes all of them, not just the first batch.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Lists in PhantomBuster are rarely perfect exports. SheetXAI handles the gaps in the same prompt.
When many leads are missing email addresses
You cannot start outreach without an email, so you need to know which rows to prioritize for email enrichment.
Fetch all leads from the PhantomBuster storage list 'Series-A Startups 2025' and write first name, last name, email, LinkedIn URL, and company into columns A through E. In column F, write NEEDS EMAIL for any row where the email field is blank.
When you want to deduplicate by email before importing to your sequencer
Some contacts appear in multiple PhantomBuster lists and might have been added here already from another source.
Fetch all leads from the PhantomBuster storage list 'Series-A Startups 2025' and write first name, last name, email, LinkedIn URL, and company into columns A through E. If any two rows have the same email address, keep only the first occurrence and write DUPLICATE in column F for the others.
When you need to filter by seniority before building the sequence
Your sequence is only for senior ICs and managers. Founders and C-suite get a different sequence.
Fetch all leads from the PhantomBuster storage list 'Series-A Startups 2025' with all available enrichment fields. Write the leads into columns A through F. In column G, write SEQUENCE A for job titles containing "senior," "lead," "manager," "director," or "head of." Write SEQUENCE B for titles containing "founder," "CEO," "CTO," "CMO," or "COO." Write UNSORTED for everything else.
When you need to pull, clean, flag, and sort for immediate sequencing in one prompt
The sequence launches Tuesday at 8 AM and you want a clean file before the end of the day Monday.
Fetch all leads from the PhantomBuster storage list 'Series-A Startups 2025' with all available fields. Write first name, last name, email, LinkedIn URL, and company into columns A through E. In column F, write NEEDS EMAIL if the email is blank. Deduplicate by LinkedIn URL in column D, marking duplicates with DUPLICATE in column G. In column H, assign a sequence tier: SEQUENCE A for senior ICs and managers, SEQUENCE B for founders and C-suite, UNSORTED for others. Sort the final sheet by sequence tier, SEQUENCE A first.
The pattern: the export becomes the ready-to-use sequence import file in one prompt. Tuesday 8 AM is not at risk.
