The Scenario
You are a campaign manager at a direct mail agency. You ran a filter in Stannp's contact database last week and identified 400 high-value recipients — previous responders, high-spend segments — and exported their IDs to a Google Sheet. The campaign is ready to launch. These 400 IDs need to be added to the target group before you can submit the send.
The bad version:
- Open the Stannp UI, navigate to Groups, find the target group, look for a bulk-add option.
- Discover that the UI supports adding contacts one at a time, or uploading a CSV of full address data — not a list of existing contact IDs.
- Conclude that you will need to use the API. Open the documentation, find the add-contacts-to-group endpoint, write a script or find someone who can.
- Hand the task to a developer. Wait. The campaign was supposed to go out this morning.
Four hundred IDs already in Stannp's system, a group that already exists, and the path between them requires either an API script or a manual workaround that involves re-entering contact data you already have.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet. It reads the recipient IDs from the sheet and calls the Stannp bulk add-to-group endpoint directly.
Add all recipient IDs in column A of this sheet to Stannp group 58203 in a single bulk operation and write the confirmation or error for each ID into column B.
What You Get
- Column B filled with a confirmation note for each ID that was successfully added.
- Any IDs that failed — duplicates already in the group, IDs that no longer exist — appear in column B with the specific error, so you know which rows need attention.
- The group is ready for the campaign without a developer or a manual workaround.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Group ID stored in the sheet rather than hardcoded in the prompt
Add all recipient IDs in column A to the Stannp group whose ID is in cell D1 and write the confirmation or error for each ID into column B.
IDs mixed with blank rows that need to be skipped
Skip any blank rows in column A, then add all non-blank recipient IDs to Stannp group 58203 and write the confirmation or error into column B. Write the total added count into cell D1.
Recipients spread across multiple tabs needing consolidation first
Combine all recipient IDs from column A of the Q1 tab and the Q2 tab, remove any duplicates, add the unique IDs to Stannp group 58203, and write the total added count into cell A1 of the Summary tab. Note any failures in column B of the Summary tab.
Full filter, dedup, add, and confirmation in one pass
Remove duplicate IDs from column A, flag any IDs that are fewer than 6 characters by writing Invalid into column B, then add all remaining IDs to Stannp group 58203 and write the confirmation or error into column B — overwriting the Invalid flag only if the API call ran for that row.
Combining the dedup, validation, and group add in a single prompt means the group is clean on the first pass rather than requiring a cleanup run after the fact.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any Google Sheet with a list of Stannp recipient IDs and ask it to bulk-add them to a group. For sending to a group immediately after building it, see the estimate-campaign-cost spoke. For the hub overview, see How to Connect Stannp to Google Sheets.
