Why teams connect Cloudera Data Platform and Smartsheet

Get the data locked inside Smartsheet into Cloudera Data Platform 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 Columns, Cells, Reports, Attachments from Smartsheet into tables in Cloudera Data Platform continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Cloudera Data Platform can also be written back into fields in Smartsheet where the tool can use them.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Users and Groups from an HR system or directory so sheet sharing and workspace access stay aligned with headcount changes.
  • 02 Trigger downstream actions in an operational database when a Row's status Cell changes, using sheet webhooks for near-real-time updates.
  • 03 Sync curated CDP tables into an operational Postgres so applications query a low-latency copy instead of hitting the cluster.
  • 04 Publish CRM or ERP records into CDP so enterprise analytics runs alongside existing data lake workloads.

Common sync patterns

Cross-tool reporting

Combine Smartsheet's data with data from every other synced system to answer questions no single tool can.

Where Smartsheet accepts updates: operational write-back

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

History that outlives the tool

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

What you can sync between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform objects Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Iceberg tables Open table format tables in newer CDP versions, with snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. Iceberg tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Columns to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views that can present curated, sync-ready projections of raw lake data. Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Views is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partitions Table partitions (often by date) that incremental extraction jobs use to scope reads. Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. Partitions is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Reports to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object store / HDFS files Underlying Parquet or ORC files on HDFS or cloud storage backing the tables. Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. Object store / HDFS files is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Attachments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical namespaces in the shared Hive Metastore that group tables for access control and syncs. Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Databases is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Hive tables Warehouse tables queried over JDBC/ODBC; classic managed tables are append-oriented. Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. Hive tables is specific to Cloudera Data Platform and Users and Groups to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cloudera Data Platform 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.

Cloudera Data Platform Smartsheet Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Cloudera Data Platform for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL on timestamp or partition columns.

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

Smartsheet Cloudera Data Platform 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 Cloudera Data Platform as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cloudera Data Platform: Constrained by cluster capacity and admission control rather than API rate limits.
  • 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.
