The Scenario
You are on a platform team. Your product is multi-tenant: 30 customer subaccounts, each needing its own branded sender identity in SendGrid so transactional emails come from the customer's own domain and name, not yours.
The data is all in a Google Sheet: from_name, from_email, reply_to, address, city, country — one row per subaccount. Provisioning 30 sender identities by hand means 30 trips through SendGrid's Sender Authentication UI.
The slow version:
- Open SendGrid's Sender Management UI
- Click "Create New Sender"
- Fill in from_name, from_email, reply_to, address, city, country from row 1
- Submit, wait for the identity to save
- Go back, click "Create New Sender" again
- Paste in row 2's data
- Repeat 28 more times
- Miss two fields on row 14, discover it when the customer calls because their emails are failing. Redo row 14.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that reads your sender identity rows and creates them all in SendGrid in one pass, writing the returned IDs and verification statuses back into the sheet.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Create a sender identity in SendGrid for each row in this sheet using columns: from_name (A), from_email (B), reply_to_email (C), address (D), city (E), country (F). Write the returned sender ID in column G and the verification status in column H.
SheetXAI creates all 30 sender identities and writes the results back. The sheet becomes your provisioning record.
What You Get
A fully populated sheet with two new columns per row:
- Column G — the SendGrid sender ID, needed for any future API operations on that identity
- Column H — the verification status (pending, verified, or an error message)
You know immediately which identities need follow-up. If five subaccounts have a verification failure because the from_email domain is not set up in SendGrid, that is visible in column H before you send a single email. No waiting for a customer to report a problem.
The sheet doubles as your provisioning audit log. When a new subaccount is onboarded, add a row and run the same prompt again.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Platform ops sheets are rarely standardized across every team that touches them.
When email addresses in the sheet use inconsistent domain capitalization
Some rows have "support@CustomerDomain.com" and others have "support@customerdomain.com".
Lowercase all email addresses in columns B and C. Then create a SendGrid sender identity for each row and write the sender ID and verification status in columns G and H.
When reply_to_email is blank for some rows
Some subaccounts did not specify a reply-to, which defaults to the from_email in SendGrid.
For each row, if column C (reply_to_email) is blank, use the value from column B (from_email) as the reply_to. Create a SendGrid sender identity for each row and write the sender ID in column G and verification status in column H.
When you want to audit all existing senders before provisioning new ones
You want to see what is already in SendGrid before adding more.
Get all existing SendGrid verified senders and write each sender's nickname, from_email, verification status, and locked status into this sheet, one row per sender. Then compare to the rows in the Pending tab and flag any from_email that already exists in SendGrid as 'DUPLICATE' in column I.
When you need to provision, verify status, and flag unverified ones for follow-up in one pass
The complete provisioning flow without manual follow-up steps.
Create a SendGrid sender identity for each row in this sheet using columns A through F. Write the sender ID in column G and verification status in column H. For any row where column H does not say 'verified', write 'NEEDS FOLLOW-UP' in column I. Then on a new tab called Provisioning Log, write a summary: how many identities were created, how many verified immediately, and how many need follow-up.
The pattern: provision all 30, classify the results, flag the problems, and log the run in one prompt.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any sheet with sender identity data, then ask it to provision them all in SendGrid and write back the results. The SendGrid integration is included in every SheetXAI plan. For related workflows, see how to audit SendGrid transactional templates from a sheet or the SendGrid in Google Sheets overview.
