The Scenario
You are the IT procurement lead. Your company just approved software budget owners for 40 new internal projects. Each person gets a Ramp virtual card with a 2,000-dollar monthly limit. The names and user IDs are already in a Google Sheet — column A has the Ramp user ID, column B has the display name. Your manager expects the cards to be issued by end of day.
The bad version:
- Open Ramp's card issuance UI and start creating cards one at a time.
- For each of the 40 people: search for the user, select them, set the limit to 2,000, choose monthly, name the card, click create.
- Forty cards later, you have no record of which card ID belongs to which employee — that becomes a problem the first time someone calls about a declined charge.
Forty cards is the kind of task that feels like it should take ten minutes and actually takes ninety.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet. It reads the employee list and calls the Ramp card creation endpoint through its built-in integration — one card per row, card ID written back to column C.
For each employee in this sheet (user ID in column A, display name in column B), issue a Ramp virtual card with a $2,000 monthly limit and log the card ID in column C
What You Get
- A virtual card is created in Ramp for each row.
- The new card ID lands in column C for that row, giving you a permanent record linking employee to card.
- Any row where card creation fails shows an error message in column C instead of a card ID.
- The sheet becomes your issuance log — no separate tracker needed.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Spend limits vary per employee
For each employee in this sheet (user ID in column A, display name in column B, monthly limit in column C), issue a Ramp virtual card using the limit from column C and write the new card ID to column D
Some user IDs in the sheet might be invalid
Issue Ramp virtual cards for each row in this sheet (user ID in column A, limit in column C), log the card ID to column D on success, and for any row where the user ID is not found in Ramp write User Not Found in column D
You want the card name to match a naming convention
For each employee in column B with user ID in column A, issue a Ramp virtual card with a $2,000 monthly limit, name the card as [Display Name] — Software Budget, and log the card ID in column C
Kill chain: validate user IDs, issue cards, and log with naming in one shot
Before issuing, check each user ID in column A against Ramp and mark any unrecognized IDs as Invalid User in column D — then for all valid rows issue a virtual card with the limit from column C, name it as [Display Name] — Software Budget, and write the card ID to column D
The full issuance run with pre-validation, naming, and logging in one instruction.
