The Scenario
You run a digital content business and thirty orders came in over the weekend. Each one is sitting in your 'Pending Orders' sheet — customer name in column A, product in column B, USD amount in column C, and column D still empty because that's where the Poof checkout URL needs to go before you can batch-email the payment requests Monday morning.
The bad version:
- Open Poof, navigate to "Create Payment Link," fill in the amount and product name from row 2, copy the generated URL, flip back to the sheet, paste into D2, go back to Poof for row 3.
- Hit row 14 and realize you typed the amount wrong in Poof because you were copying from memory instead of looking at the sheet.
- Finish all 30 rows in 45 minutes, then spend another 10 verifying that none of the URLs got pasted into the wrong row.
Thirty checkout links is a Monday morning's worth of copy-paste. That's time that was supposed to go toward actually following up with those customers.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your 'Pending Orders' tab, understands the columns, and through its built-in Poof integration it generates checkout URLs for every row and writes them back — without you opening Poof once.
For every row in my 'Pending Orders' sheet, create a Poof payment link using the amount in column C and the product name in column B, then write the returned checkout URL into column D.
What You Get
- Column D populated with a unique Poof checkout URL for every pending order row.
- Rows with a missing or non-numeric amount in column C flagged with an error note in column D instead of generating a bad link.
- No partial results — if the run completes, every row that could be processed has a URL.
- The original data in columns A through C is untouched.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The amount column has currency symbols and commas
Your column C has values like "$1,250.00" instead of plain numbers, and Poof requires a numeric amount.
For every row in my 'Pending Orders' sheet, strip currency symbols and commas from column C to get a clean numeric amount, then create a Poof payment link using that amount and the product name in column B, writing the checkout URL into column D.
Some rows are missing a product name
Column B is blank for a handful of orders, which would result in Poof links with no description.
For every row in my 'Pending Orders' sheet where column B is not empty, create a Poof payment link using the amount in column C and the product in column B, write the URL into column D, and write 'Missing product' into column D for any row where column B is blank.
Orders are split across multiple tabs by product category
Your sheet has three tabs — 'Digital Downloads', 'Subscriptions', and 'Consulting' — each with the same column layout.
Create a Poof payment link for every row across my 'Digital Downloads', 'Subscriptions', and 'Consulting' tabs using the amount in column C and product in column B, writing the returned checkout URL into column D of each respective tab.
The full cleanup-plus-generate kill chain
Amounts have currency formatting, some product names need trimming, and a few rows are test entries marked "TEST" in column E that should be skipped.
For every row in my 'Pending Orders' sheet where column E does not contain 'TEST', strip currency symbols and commas from column C to get a numeric amount, trim any extra whitespace from the product name in column B, create a Poof payment link using those cleaned values, and write the checkout URL into column D. Flag any row that still errors after cleaning with 'Check manually' in column D.
Combining the data cleaning and the link generation into a single prompt means you're not doing a separate cleanup pass first.
