The Scenario
Your brand content team just wrapped a two-hour CEO interview. Someone pulled 20 standout quotes and dropped them into a Google Sheet — column A has the quote, column B has the speaker attribution. Leadership wants a set of styled quote cards for an Instagram Stories campaign launching next week. Each quote needs its own image, branded with the company's color palette, ready for the social team to download and post.
The design team has bandwidth issues. The launch is in four days.
The bad version:
- Open Canva, create a quote card template, copy quote 1, paste it in, adjust the text box, export, download, save with a filename, move to the next quote. Twenty times. Hope the font didn't shift on the longer quotes.
- Send the Google Sheet to an offshore design contractor, wait 48 hours, get back images that are close but not quite right, request revisions, lose another 24 hours.
- Publish the campaign with text-only posts and explain to leadership that "the images are coming in phase two."
The brand guidelines exist. The quotes exist. The bottleneck is purely execution — and execution at this volume shouldn't require a Canva subscription and an afternoon.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the quotes in column A and, through its built-in RiteKit integration, calls the text-to-image API with your specified style settings and writes the resulting image URLs back to column C — one for each quote.
For each quote in column A of the "CEO Quotes" sheet, call RiteKit text-to-image with the brand color from cell E1 and the font setting from cell E2, then write the image URL into column C. Skip rows where column A is blank.
What You Get
- Column C: A hosted image URL for each quote — clickable, downloadable, ready for the social team
- Rows where column A is blank are skipped — no empty image URLs
- Any row where RiteKit returns an error gets "IMAGE ERROR" in column C with the reason noted in column D
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some quotes are too long to fit on a square image without being cut off
For each quote in column A, check the character count. If the quote is longer than 180 characters, write "TOO LONG: TRIM" in column C and the character count in column D — don't call RiteKit for those rows. For quotes 180 characters or fewer, call RiteKit text-to-image with background color "#1A1A2E" and write the image URL to column C.
The sheet has quotes in two languages — English and Spanish — and each needs a slightly different style
For each row, check the language field in column C. For rows marked "EN", call RiteKit text-to-image with background "#1A1A2E" and write the image URL to column D. For rows marked "ES", call RiteKit text-to-image with background "#2E1A1A" and write to column D. Use the same font setting for both.
I need the images sized for both Instagram Stories (9:16) and Twitter cards (16:9)
For each quote in column A, call RiteKit text-to-image twice — once with aspect ratio 9:16 for Stories and once with 16:9 for Twitter. Write the Stories image URL to column C and the Twitter card URL to column D. Skip rows where column A is blank.
I want to generate the images, verify each URL is reachable, and create a final delivery list in one pass
For each quote in column A, call RiteKit text-to-image with background color "#1A1A2E" and write the image URL to column C. After all images are generated, check each URL in column C to confirm it returns a 200 status. Write "LIVE" or "BROKEN" in column D for each. Then on a new tab called "Delivery List" output only the rows where column D is LIVE, with columns: Quote | Attribution | Image URL.
Generate, verify, and package the delivery list in a single prompt.
