Why teams connect Close and Smartsheet

Sync what happens in Smartsheet with the customer records in Close, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Smartsheet holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Sheets, Rows, Columns, Cells in Smartsheet to Contacts, Opportunities, Activities, Tasks in Close with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Smartsheet update the matching contact or account in Close, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Smartsheet can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 Pull Reports and Sheets into a warehouse for cross-project reporting and dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Push call, SMS, and email activity data into a warehouse for rep performance and outreach-cadence analysis.
  • 04 Write product usage or firmographic data from an internal database onto Close lead custom fields to prioritize follow-up.

Common sync patterns

Where Smartsheet supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Close, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

Where Smartsheet can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Close sync into Smartsheet, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

What you can sync between Close 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.

Close objects Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Leads The top-level record in Close; represents a company and holds its contacts, opportunities, and activity history. Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Leads is specific to Close and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts People nested under a lead, with emails and phone numbers used for outreach syncs. Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. Contacts is specific to Close and Users and Groups to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunities Deal records with value, confidence, and status; commonly synced to reporting and billing systems. 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. Opportunities is specific to Close and Sheets to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Calls, emails, SMS, notes, and meetings logged against a lead; the source for engagement analytics. Rows Records inside a sheet, each with createdAt/modifiedAt and cells keyed by columnId; the primary unit synced to and from external tables. Activities is specific to Close and Rows to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Follow-up items assigned to users; synced for workload and SLA reporting. Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. Tasks is specific to Close and Columns to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Activities User-defined activity types with their own custom fields, mapped like standard activities. Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Custom Activities is specific to Close and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Close 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.

Close Smartsheet Sub-second propagation

DetectionClose notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling on date_updated fields for backfills.

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

Smartsheet Close 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 written to Close through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Close: Subject to per-endpoint rate limits communicated in response headers.
  • 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.
