The Scenario
You just got back from a two-day industry conference. Your Google Sheet has 50 rows — Bigin contact IDs in column A, follow-up notes from each meeting in column B. Some notes are three sentences. Some are one line. All of them need to be logged in Bigin as contact notes before end of day so the sales team can see them when they start outreach tomorrow morning.
You are on the train home. End of day is in three hours.
The bad version:
- Open Bigin, navigate to the first contact, scroll to the Notes section, click "Add Note," paste in the note text, title it something, save.
- Do that 49 more times.
- Realize around contact 25 that you are titling each note "Meeting Note" because you cannot think of anything better and the title field is required.
Fifty note-entry operations, each requiring navigation, a click, a paste, a title, and a save. That is closer to two hours than one.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the contact IDs and note text from your sheet and calls the Bigin Notes API to create a note on each contact record in bulk.
For each row in this sheet, create a note on the Bigin Contact in column A using the text in column B as the note content; write the created note ID into column C
What You Get
- 50 notes created in Bigin, each attached to the correct contact record.
- The Bigin note ID written into column C for every row — useful if you ever need to update or reference a specific note later.
- Rows where the contact ID is invalid surface an error in column C rather than silently failing.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You want a consistent note title rather than leaving it blank
For each row, create a Bigin note on the contact in column A. Use the text in column B as the note body. Set the title to "Conference Follow-Up — [today's date]". Write the created note ID or error into column C.
Some note cells in column B have trailing whitespace or extra line breaks
For each row, trim the note text in column B (remove leading/trailing whitespace and collapse multiple blank lines into one). Then create a Bigin note on the contact in column A using the cleaned text. Write the note ID into column C.
You want to add a note only if no note from this conference already exists on the contact
For each contact ID in column A, check whether any existing Bigin note contains the text "Conference Follow-Up" in its title. If one exists, write ALREADY LOGGED in column C. If not, create a new note with the text from column B and write the note ID into column C.
Full cleanup, dedup check, and bulk note creation in one shot
For each row: trim whitespace from column B. Check if the Bigin Contact in column A already has a note titled "Conference Follow-Up" from today — if so, write ALREADY LOGGED in column C. For the rest, create a note with the cleaned text from column B, titled "Conference Follow-Up — 2026-05-14". Write the note ID or error into column C.
One prompt handles the cleanup and the logging — 50 contact records updated before the train reaches the station.
