Send a Batch of Transactional Emails From Google Sheets via Resend

The Scenario

You are an e-commerce developer. Last night, 95 orders came in during the flash sale. Every customer is waiting for their order confirmation email.

The order data is already in a Google Sheet: column A is email, column B is order number, column C is order total.

Resend's batch endpoint lets you send up to 100 emails in a single API call. One call, all 95 confirmations, done. The alternative is 95 separate calls with retry logic, which is a script you do not want to write at 9 AM.

The bad version:

  • You write a script to shape the batch payload
  • The batch API schema is slightly different from the regular send endpoint and you spend thirty minutes reading docs
  • You hit a typo in the "from" field and the whole batch returns a 422
  • You fix it, re-run, realize you forgot to handle the case where order total is null for one row
  • The confirmation emails go out three hours after the orders closed.

The fast version is one prompt.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet that reads the data and calls Resend's batch endpoint for you, shaped correctly the first time.

Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:

Read all rows in the OrderConfirmations sheet (A=email, B=order number, C=total). Send them all as a single Resend batch email, one per row, from orders@mystore.com with subject "Your order is confirmed" and a body that includes the order number and total. Write the batch response into cell F1.

SheetXAI reads all 95 rows, constructs the batch payload, fires the single Resend batch API call, and writes the response (including the batch ID) into cell F1. Ninety-five confirmation emails, one API call.

What You Get

A completed send logged in the sheet:

  • 95 confirmation emails sent in one Resend batch call
  • Cell F1 — the full batch API response including batch ID and timestamp
  • Each email personalized with the order number and total from its row

One call, one log entry, done. If the batch fails, the full error response is in F1 so you know exactly what happened without digging through logs.

Need a different format? Tell SheetXAI to include a line-item breakdown from another column, or to vary the subject line based on order size. It adjusts the payload per row before firing the batch.

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

Order exports are rarely clean. SheetXAI handles data issues and the batch send in the same prompt.

When order totals are missing for some rows

A few rows have a blank in column C because the payment captured after the export ran.

For rows in OrderConfirmations where column C is blank, substitute "pending" for the total in the email body. Then send all rows as a single Resend batch and write the batch response to cell F1.

When the batch needs to be split because you have more than 100 rows

The export has 190 orders and Resend's batch endpoint caps at 100.

Read the OrderConfirmations sheet. Split into two batches of up to 100 rows each. Send the first batch via Resend and write the batch ID and row range into cell F1. Send the second batch and write its batch ID and row range into cell F2.

When you want to preview the batch before sending

You want to confirm the payload looks right before the API call goes out.

Read all rows in OrderConfirmations (A=email, B=order number, C=total). Build the Resend batch payload and write the full JSON into column E, one row per email object. Do not send yet, just show me the payload.

When you need to clean, build, send, and log in one operation

The export is raw from the platform, has a header row, some null totals, and a mix of email formats. You want everything handled together.

Look at the OrderConfirmations sheet. Remove the header row if present. Drop rows where column A is not a valid email address. For rows where column C is blank, substitute "N/A" for the total. Then send all valid rows as a Resend batch email from orders@mystore.com, subject "Your order is confirmed," with order number and total in the body. Write the batch response and timestamp into cell F1.

The pattern: instead of cleaning the export and then writing the batch script, you ask for both in one prompt. No separate steps, no handoff.
