The Scenario
You ran a webinar three days ago. Eight hundred people signed up. The sign-up tool dumped them into a Google Sheet — column A is email, column B is first name, column C is the timestamp.
Your onboarding sequence in Simplero is already built and waiting. The moment someone lands on the "New Students" list, it fires automatically. All you need to do is get those 800 emails onto that list.
The bad version:
- Export the sheet as CSV, open Simplero's import tool, drag in the file, and wait for the progress bar — which completes with "12 rows skipped" and no explanation of which 12 or why.
- Go back to the sheet, try to identify the bad rows, fix them, re-export, re-import the corrected subset.
- Cross your fingers that the duplicate handling works the way you think, because the importer doesn't confirm either way.
You didn't build the webinar so you could spend the next two hours matching skipped-row counts to a CSV. The onboarding sequence is already late.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your data and talks to Simplero directly — no CSV export, no file drag-and-drop, no mystery skip count. Open the sidebar and ask.
Subscribe every email in column A (800 rows) to Simplero list ID 12345 using the bulk endpoint, and write "done" in column B for each row when finished
What You Get
- Column B fills in as subscriptions complete — "done" for each successful row.
- Rows that fail get a distinct note in column B (malformed email, contact already subscribed, etc.) instead of disappearing into a skip count.
- The Simplero onboarding sequence fires for each newly subscribed contact as soon as it lands on the list.
- No file to clean up, no second import pass needed.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some emails in column A have extra spaces or are in mixed case
Subscribe every email in column A to Simplero list ID 12345 — trim whitespace and lowercase each address before calling the API — write "done" or the error message in column B
First name is missing for some rows but the onboarding sequence needs it
Subscribe everyone in column A to list ID 12345, and for each contact set the first name from column B if it is not blank — skip rows where column A is empty, write the result to column C
The sheet has duplicate emails — you want to deduplicate before subscribing
Deduplicate column A by email (keep the first occurrence), then subscribe each unique address to Simplero list ID 12345 and write the status to column B
The full job: clean, dedup, subscribe, and flag any that bounce back
Trim and lowercase column A, remove duplicates (keep first), subscribe each remaining email to Simplero list ID 12345 using the bulk endpoint, write "done" to column B for successes and the API error message for failures, then count how many total were subscribed versus failed and write the summary in cell D1
One prompt handles the cleanup and the action. You don't queue them separately.
