The Scenario
Third time this week a creator platform's finance lead has had to ask when the affiliate payouts are going out. The 'Affiliate Payouts' sheet has been ready for two days — 50 rows, wallet address in column B, USDC amount in column C, columns D and E blank waiting for a transaction hash and a status. The hold-up is that someone has to log into the Poof dashboard and execute each payout manually, one at a time.
The bad version:
- Log into Poof, navigate to send, paste the first wallet address, enter the USDC amount, select Polygon as the network, confirm, wait for the transaction hash, copy it, flip to the sheet, paste into E2, type 'Sent' in D2.
- Repeat 49 more times.
- Hit row 31 and get a validation error — the wallet address has a checksum issue — fix it, retry, and realize you've now lost track of which rows you've actually sent versus which ones you tabbed past.
Fifty payouts at three minutes each is two and a half hours of dashboard clicking that could have been a single prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet. It reads the 'Affiliate Payouts' tab, understands the wallet addresses and amounts, and through the Poof integration it executes each payout, writes the transaction hash into column E, and updates column D with the status — without you visiting the dashboard once.
For each row in my 'Affiliate Payouts' sheet, send a Poof crypto payout to the wallet address in column B for the USDC amount in column C, then write 'Sent' or the error message into column D and the returned transaction hash into column E.
What You Get
- Column D updated with 'Sent' for each successful payout, or the specific error message for any row that failed.
- Column E filled with the transaction hash returned by Poof for each successful payout.
- Failed rows identified with their specific error so you can fix and retry only those rows.
- Successful rows not re-processed if you run the prompt a second time — SheetXAI sees 'Sent' in column D and skips them.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some wallet addresses have formatting issues or checksum errors
A handful of addresses in column B have invalid checksums or extra characters that would cause the Poof payout to fail.
For each row in my 'Affiliate Payouts' sheet where column D is blank, validate the wallet address in column B before sending. If the address looks malformed, write 'Invalid address — check manually' into column D and skip that row. For valid addresses, send the Poof USDC payout and write the status and transaction hash into columns D and E.
Payout amounts need to be net of a platform fee
Every row's USDC amount in column C is gross. You need to deduct a 2.5% platform fee before sending.
For each row in my 'Affiliate Payouts' sheet where column D is blank, calculate the net payout as column C minus 2.5%, then send a Poof USDC payout to the wallet in column B for that net amount. Write the calculated net amount into column F, the status into column D, and the transaction hash into column E.
Payouts are split across two tabs — affiliates and contractors
The workbook has an 'Affiliates' tab and a 'Contractors' tab with the same column layout. Both need to be processed.
For every row in both my 'Affiliates' and 'Contractors' sheets where column D is blank, send a Poof USDC payout on Polygon to the wallet in column B for the amount in column C. Write the payout status into column D and the transaction hash into column E of each respective tab.
The full validate-plus-payout kill chain
Addresses need format validation, amounts need fee deduction, and any rows marked 'Hold' in column F should be skipped.
For each row in my 'Affiliate Payouts' sheet where column D is blank and column F does not say 'Hold', validate the wallet address in column B — if it looks malformed, write 'Invalid' in column D and skip. For valid addresses, deduct 2.5% from the amount in column C to get the net payout, send a Poof USDC payout on Polygon, write the net amount into column G, the status into column D, and the transaction hash into column E.
Running the validation, the fee math, and the payout trigger in one prompt means no intermediate step where bad rows get sent before you catch them.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any Google Sheet with a list of wallet addresses and payout amounts — even if they need fee deductions or split across multiple tabs — and ask it to execute the Poof payouts and capture transaction hashes in one pass.
