Why teams connect Apache Pinot and Smartsheet

Get the data locked inside Smartsheet into Apache Pinot as live tables, and send results back where Smartsheet can use them, without writing a pipeline.

Whatever Smartsheet is used for, it accumulates data the rest of the company wants to analyze, and that data usually sits behind an API rather than in the warehouse. Building and babysitting an extraction pipeline is the tax most teams pay for it.

Stacksync syncs Cells, Reports, Attachments, Discussions and Comments from Smartsheet into tables in Apache Pinot continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Apache Pinot can also be written back into fields in Smartsheet where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync a project-tracker Sheet's Rows with a Postgres table so engineering works in SQL while project managers stay in Smartsheet.
  • 02 Write records from a CRM or ERP into Smartsheet Rows so ops teams manage intake and status in a grid, then push status Cells back to the source.
  • 03 Sync Pinot aggregates into a warehouse to join low-latency metrics with modeled historical data.
  • 04 Serve user-facing analytics from Pinot while syncing daily rollups to finance and ops tools.

Common sync patterns

Where Smartsheet accepts updates: operational write-back

Segments, scores, or reference values computed in Apache Pinot sync back onto records in Smartsheet, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Apache Pinot preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Smartsheet or gets changed inside it.

Analytics on Smartsheet's data

Records and events from Smartsheet land in Apache Pinot as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

What you can sync between Apache Pinot and Smartsheet

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Apache Pinot objects Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Real-time Tables Tables fed continuously from streams like Kafka, including upsert-enabled tables. Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. Real-time Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Reports to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offline Tables Batch-loaded tables merged with real-time data at query time. Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. Offline Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Attachments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Inverted, range, and star-tree indexes that determine which sync queries run at low latency. Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Indexes is specific to Apache Pinot and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tenants Logical groupings that isolate workloads on shared clusters. Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. Tenants is specific to Apache Pinot and Users and Groups to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The queryable unit, defined as offline, real-time, or hybrid; the main read target. Sheets The core container; each sheet has typed columns, rows, and a modifiedAt stamp. Stacksync treats a sheet as a table and syncs its rows two-way. Tables is specific to Apache Pinot and Sheets to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Column definitions (dimensions, metrics, time columns) mapped during integration setup. Rows Records inside a sheet, each with createdAt/modifiedAt and cells keyed by columnId; the primary unit synced to and from external tables. Schemas is specific to Apache Pinot and Rows to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Apache Pinot and Smartsheet

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Apache Pinot Smartsheet Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Apache Pinot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Data enters Pinot via streaming ingestion or segment upload, not row-level writes.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Smartsheet through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Smartsheet Apache Pinot Sub-second propagation

DetectionSmartsheet notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Sheet-scoped webhooks subscribed to *.* events notify on row and cell changes.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Apache Pinot as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Apache Pinot: No fixed API quotas; query throughput depends on broker and server sizing.
  • Smartsheet: 300 requests per minute per access token; heavy calls like posting attachments cost 10x (30/min). A 429 returns errorCode 4003, back off ~60s.
