The Scenario
You are an ABM marketer. You have 200 target accounts in a Google Sheet, the result of three weeks of ICP filtering, each row with a company LinkedIn URL, industry tag, and employee range. You want to run a LinkedIn company follower Phantom against all of them next week.
Before the Phantom can run, every account needs to exist as a company object in PhantomBuster's org storage. Right now, none of them are in there.
The bad version of this Friday:
- You find PhantomBuster's company bulk import CSV template
- You reformat your sheet columns to match the template header names exactly
- You upload the CSV and get a success message for 187 of 200
- You cannot tell which 13 failed or why
- You try to add the missing 13 manually through the UI, one at a time
- You get three of them in before deciding to call it a day and hope the Phantom does not notice
- You run the Phantom Monday morning against an incomplete account list and never find out which 13 it skipped.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that pushes your account rows into PhantomBuster company storage directly, in the batches the API expects, and writes the result back for every row.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Read the 'Target Accounts' sheet, columns: companyName, linkedinUrl, industry, employeeCount, and save up to 20 companies at a time to PhantomBuster org storage. Write the returned company ID into column E.
SheetXAI works through all 200 rows in groups of 20, saves each company object to PhantomBuster, and writes the company ID back into column E. Any row that fails gets a blank in column E, making the gaps visible immediately.
What You Get
200 company objects saved into PhantomBuster org storage, with confirmation in your sheet:
- Column E — the PhantomBuster company ID for each successfully saved account
- Rows with blank column E — failed saves, visible immediately
The LinkedIn company follower Phantom can now be pointed at the full list. Count the non-empty IDs to confirm the upload. Filter the blanks and fix them before running the Phantom. No guessing which 13 did not make it.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Account lists from ICP filtering are never perfectly structured. SheetXAI handles the edge cases before pushing to PhantomBuster.
When LinkedIn URLs are missing the proper format
Some rows have "linkedin.com/company/acme-corp" instead of "https://www.linkedin.com/company/acme-corp" and PhantomBuster will reject them.
Before saving to PhantomBuster, normalize all LinkedIn URLs in column B to start with "https://www.linkedin.com/company/". Then save each company to PhantomBuster org storage in batches of 20 and write the company ID into column E.
When employee count is a text range instead of a number
Your ICP filter exported employee ranges like "51-200" as text strings, but PhantomBuster expects a numeric value.
Before saving to PhantomBuster, convert the employee count in column D from text ranges to the midpoint number: "1-10" becomes 5, "11-50" becomes 30, "51-200" becomes 125, "201-500" becomes 350, "501-1000" becomes 750. Then save all rows as company objects in batches of 20 and write the company ID into column E.
When some target accounts might already be in PhantomBuster storage
You want to avoid creating duplicates before the Phantom runs.
For each company in the sheet, first search PhantomBuster for a company with the matching LinkedIn URL. If found, write EXISTS — [companyId] in column E. If not found, save the company and write the new company ID in column E.
When you need to push, verify, and confirm all 200 before Monday morning
The growth team is counting on 200 accounts being ready before the Phantom runs at 8 AM Monday.
Save all rows from the Target Accounts sheet to PhantomBuster as company objects in batches of 20, using companyName, linkedinUrl, industry, and employeeCount columns. Write the returned company ID into column E. After processing all rows, search PhantomBuster company objects to count how many company objects now exist and write that total into cell G1 as "Confirmed in storage: X". Flag any rows with no company ID in column F as FAILED.
The pattern: push all 200, confirm the count, flag the gaps. The Phantom can run Monday morning with a complete list.
