The Scenario
Your field-marketing manager has a Google Sheet with 40 offline campaign landing page URLs. The print vendor needs a trackable QR code for every one of them by 5 PM today. The codes have to be Sidetracker QR codes — not generic generators — so the campaign data flows back into your analytics.
The bad version:
- Open the Sidetracker QR code generator, paste in the first URL, configure the tracking parameters, copy the generated QR code image URL, switch back to the sheet, find the right row, paste it into column C.
- Repeat for URL 2. Then URL 3. After URL 8, you start questioning the life choices that led here.
- Finish all 40, hand the sheet to the print vendor, realize URL 22 was pasted into the wrong row, and start auditing.
Nobody hired you to be a copy-paste machine for 40 QR codes. The print run can't slip.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the URLs you already have, calls Sidetracker's QR code API for each one, and writes the result back into the correct column — all in one shot.
For every URL in column B of my 'Campaign URLs' sheet, generate a Sidetracker QR code and paste each QR code image URL back into column C. If a URL fails, write the error into column D.
What You Get
- Column C populated with a Sidetracker QR code URL for every row that has a URL in column B.
- The QR code URLs are the actual trackable links from Sidetracker — tied to your account, visible in your analytics dashboard.
- If any URL causes an API error (malformed URL, rate limit, etc.), column D for that row gets the error message so you can fix and re-run just the failures.
- Row order preserved exactly as-is — the print vendor's layout stays intact.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some URLs in my column B are missing the https:// prefix
For every URL in column B of my 'Campaign URLs' sheet, add the https:// prefix if it's missing, then generate a Sidetracker QR code for each corrected URL and write the QR code URL into column C.
I have URLs across three different sheets that all need QR codes
Generate a Sidetracker QR code for every URL in column B of sheets 'Spring Campaign', 'Summer Campaign', and 'Fall Campaign'. Write each QR code URL into column C of the same sheet it came from.
I need to deduplicate URLs before generating codes — some are repeated
Check column B of my 'Campaign URLs' sheet for duplicate URLs. For duplicates, generate the QR code only once and copy the same QR code URL into all matching rows in column C. Note which rows share a code in column D.
I need to clean the URLs, generate codes, and format the sheet for the vendor handoff in one pass
For every URL in column B of my 'Campaign URLs' sheet: strip any trailing slashes, remove UTM parameters from the raw URL, generate a Sidetracker QR code for the cleaned URL, write the QR code URL into column C, and write the cleaned base URL back into column B. Highlight column C in light green to flag it as ready for the vendor.
One prompt handles URL normalization, QR code generation, writeback, and visual formatting — no intermediate steps.
