The Scenario
The healthcare marketing manager got the HIPAA compliance report request on a Tuesday. It's Thursday. The report requires documentation of every suppressed address across all Postalytics suppression lists — who was suppressed, when, and what their address was. She has six suppression lists in Postalytics and no fast way to get that data into a format the compliance officer will accept.
The bad version:
- Open Postalytics, navigate to suppression lists, open the first list, and try to find an export option — which exports a CSV with no timestamp data.
- Copy the partial data into a new sheet tab, name the tab after the list, then repeat for all six lists across six separate tabs.
- Realize the compliance officer needs the date each contact was added, which the CSV export didn't include, and that field may not even be available through the UI.
- Send an apology email saying the documentation will be delayed.
The audit doesn't care about your export limitations. The compliance officer has a deadline too.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your Postalytics suppression lists via the API and writes each one into a separate sheet tab — complete with whatever fields are available, including dates added.
Fetch all suppression lists from my Postalytics account and for each list, import the contacts into a separate sheet tab named after the list, with columns for name, address, and date added.
What You Get
After running that prompt:
- One new tab is created in your workbook for each Postalytics suppression list, named after the list.
- Each tab has the contact name, full address, and date added in separate columns.
- All six lists land in the workbook in one operation — no switching between screens, no tab-by-tab manual copying.
- The workbook is ready to export as documentation without any additional formatting.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The compliance report requires a summary tab listing all suppression lists with contact counts
Fetch all Postalytics suppression lists, create one tab per list with contact name, address, and date added, then create an additional 'Summary' tab listing each list name and its total contact count.
One specific list had contacts added across multiple campaigns and needs a campaign source column
Fetch contacts from Postalytics suppression list ID 88 and import them into a new sheet called 'List 88 Detail' with columns for name, address, date added, and any available campaign source field.
The compliance officer needs all suppressed contacts merged into a single flat table in addition to the per-list tabs
Fetch all Postalytics suppression lists. Create one tab per list with contact name, address, and date added. Then create a 'Combined Suppression' tab that merges all contacts from all lists into one flat table with an additional column showing which list each contact came from.
Full compliance package in one shot
Individual tabs, summary tab, combined flat table, ready to send.
Fetch all Postalytics suppression lists. Create one tab per list named after the list, with contact name, address, and date added. Create a 'Summary' tab with each list name and its contact count. Create a 'Combined Suppression' tab with all contacts merged, including a column for the source list name. Sort the combined tab by date added descending.
One ask. The compliance folder is ready.
