The Scenario
Monday morning. A system import ran over the weekend and corrupted the delivery addresses on 40 active Shipday orders — each one got the zip code of the warehouse instead of the customer's zip. A logistics coordinator discovered it when the first driver of the day called in confused.
The correct addresses are already in a Google Sheet: column A has the Shipday order ID, column B has the original (wrong) address on record, column C has the corrected address, column D has the corrected phone number.
The coordinator needs all 40 orders fixed before any more drivers are dispatched. It's 7:40 AM.
The bad version:
- Open Shipday, search for order ID from row 1, click into the order, update the delivery address field, update the phone, save. Go back to the order list, search for order ID from row 2.
- At order 15 the coordinator realizes she's been updating the address but not the phone number on the first 14 orders. She goes back through them one by one.
- At order 28, dispatch calls wanting to know why a driver has a bad address. The coordinator tells them 12 more orders still need fixing. Dispatch puts two drivers on hold.
Forty orders, two fields each, all the while dispatch is on hold and drivers are waiting.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your corrections column and updates each Shipday order in a single batch operation, writing confirmation back into the sheet so you know which ones went through.
Paste this into the sidebar:
For each row in my Address Corrections sheet, update the Shipday order with the ID in column A — set the delivery address to the value in column C and customer phone to column D
What You Get
- One Shipday order update per row in your corrections sheet, processed in order.
- Delivery address and phone number updated from columns C and D for every successful row.
- Any row where the update fails — order ID not found, address field rejected — gets an error note written into column E so you know exactly which orders need manual intervention.
- The operation finishes in seconds. Dispatch can resume before 8 AM.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The corrected addresses include extra whitespace or trailing characters
The corrections came from a copy-paste operation and some addresses have trailing spaces or inconsistent capitalization.
For each row in my Address Corrections sheet, clean the delivery address in column C by trimming whitespace and normalizing capitalization, then update the Shipday order with the ID in column A to the cleaned address and the phone in column D — write the update result into column E
Some order IDs in column A are blank
The corrections sheet was assembled quickly and a few rows are incomplete — no order ID means nothing to update.
For each row in my Address Corrections sheet where column A is not blank, update the Shipday order for that ID using the corrected address in column C and phone in column D — write the result into column E — for any row where column A is empty, write "skipped - no order ID" in column E
You need to verify the current address before overwriting
Before updating, you want to confirm that column B (the wrong address on record) actually matches what Shipday currently shows — to avoid overwriting an order that was already manually corrected by someone else.
For each row in my Address Corrections sheet, fetch the current Shipday delivery address for the order ID in column A and compare it to column B — if they match, update the address to column C and phone to column D and write "updated" into column E — if the current address already differs from column B, write "already changed - skipped" into column E
Verify, clean, update, and produce a correction summary in one pass
The operations manager wants a post-mortem: how many orders were successfully corrected, how many were already fixed, and how many errored — in a summary tab alongside the correction log.
For each row in my Address Corrections sheet, verify the Shipday address matches column B, update to column C and phone to column D if it does, and write the result into column E — then create a Summary tab with three counts: total updated, total skipped because already changed, and total errors
Verification, correction, and reporting in a single prompt. No second pass needed.
