The Scenario
The reorg landed on a Tuesday. Departments shifted, cost centers changed, and 300 Zendesk users need to be moved to different organizations. The HR team sent over a sheet: user IDs in column A, new organization IDs in column B. The Zendesk admin has until end of day Friday to process all 300 membership changes before the new routing rules go live.
The bad version:
- Open Zendesk, search for user ID 1, open the user profile.
- Find the Organizations section. Click Add Organization. Type the org name. Save.
- Navigate back. Search for user ID 2.
- At user 45, realize you forgot whether the new membership should replace the old one or be added alongside it — and you've been doing it wrong for the last 20 users.
300 membership changes. At two minutes per user, that's ten hours. The admin doesn't have ten hours. The routing rules go live Friday whether the memberships are updated or not.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet. It reads the user-organization pairs and uses the Zendesk integration to create every membership in one operation.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar in the reorg sheet and paste:
For each row in this sheet, create a Zendesk organization membership linking the user ID in column A to the organization ID in column B
What You Get
- A Zendesk organization membership created for every row.
- Column C receives the membership ID for each created membership.
- Rows where the user ID or org ID doesn't resolve are flagged in column D rather than silently skipped.
300 memberships created. No clicking through individual user profiles.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some users should be set as the default member of the new organization
For each row in this sheet, create a Zendesk organization membership linking user ID in column A to org ID in column B. If column C contains 'default', mark that membership as the user's default org. Write membership ID to column D
Default membership flag handled in the same pass.
Some users are already members of the target org and shouldn't be re-added
For each row in this sheet, create a Zendesk organization membership for user ID in column A and org ID in column B — but first check if the membership already exists. If it does, write 'already exists' to column C; if not, create it and write the membership ID
Duplicate detection before creation.
You also need to remove the user's previous org membership
For each row in this sheet: remove any existing organization memberships for user ID in column A, then create a new membership linking them to the org ID in column B. Write 'migrated' or the error to column C
Full membership migration — remove and replace — in one pass.
Full reorg membership migration with verification
For each row in this sheet from row 2 to row 301: remove existing org memberships for user ID in column A, create a new membership to org ID in column B, and set it as default. Write the new membership ID to column C and 'migrated' or error to column D. When done, write the total successful migrations to cell F2
300 users remapped, old memberships cleared, verification count written — one prompt, done before Friday.
