The Scenario
End of month. Your payment processor flagged 150 refunds from the past 30 days — course cancellations, chargebacks, a handful of "I changed my mind" requests. You exported the refund report to a Google Sheet: column A has the email, column B has the refund date, column C has the order ID.
Every one of those 150 people needs to come off the "Active Members" list in Simplero before the next billing cycle communication goes out on Friday. If even one of them receives a renewal nudge, you have a support ticket and potentially a second dispute.
The bad version:
- Open Simplero, search the first email, navigate to their list memberships, find "Active Members," unsubscribe, confirm.
- Repeat 149 more times while the support queue fills up with unrelated tickets you're also supposed to be handling.
- Get 120 rows in and realize you've lost track of where you were because someone called you away from the desk.
You have until Friday. The list is 150 rows and the stakes are a clean billing cycle.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the email column and calls Simplero to unsubscribe each contact from the specified list, then writes the status back into the sheet so you have a complete record of what was processed.
Unsubscribe every email in column B of this sheet from the Simplero list named "Active Members" and mark column C "done" for each
What You Get
- Column C fills in with "done" for each contact removed from "Active Members."
- Contacts that weren't subscribed to that list come back with a note in column C — not a silent skip.
- Contacts not found in Simplero are flagged separately.
- You have an audit row for every email before the billing cycle communication goes out.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some emails in column A have trailing whitespace from the payment processor export
Unsubscribe every email in column A from the Simplero list named "Active Members" — trim whitespace from each address before the API call — write "done" or the error to column D
You also need to add a "refunded" tag at the same time you unsubscribe
For each email in column A, unsubscribe from "Active Members" and add the tag "refunded" to the Simplero contact — write "done" to column D for contacts where both operations succeed
You only want to process rows where column C says "full-refund" — partial refunds stay on the list
For rows where column C equals "full-refund," unsubscribe the email in column A from "Active Members" and write the result to column E — skip all other rows
The full remediation: normalize, filter, unsubscribe, tag, and confirm
Trim and lowercase column A, process only rows where column C is "full-refund," unsubscribe each from "Active Members" and add the tag "refunded," write "done" or the error to column E, and put a count of successful removals in cell G1
One pass, auditable before Friday.
