Why teams connect Dremio and Smartsheet

Get the data locked inside Smartsheet into Dremio 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 Dremio continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Dremio can also be written back into fields in Smartsheet where the tool can use them.

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 Sync curated Dremio views into an operational Postgres so applications get low-latency access to lakehouse data.
  • 04 Reverse-ETL aggregates computed over lake data out to CRMs and finance tools for business users.

Common sync patterns

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Dremio 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 Dremio as queryable tables, current within seconds and ready to join with the rest of the warehouse.

Cross-tool reporting

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

What you can sync between Dremio 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.

Dremio objects Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Spaces and folders Namespaces that organize virtual datasets and govern access. Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Spaces and folders is specific to Dremio and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reflections Materialized accelerations that make repeated extraction queries cheaper. Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. Reflections is specific to Dremio and Reports to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Jobs Query execution records useful for monitoring sync workloads. Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. Jobs is specific to Dremio and Attachments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sources Connected storage and database systems (S3, ADLS, relational databases) Dremio queries in place. Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Sources is specific to Dremio and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Physical datasets Tables and files promoted from sources; the raw data a sync ultimately reads. Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. Physical datasets is specific to Dremio and Users and Groups to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Virtual datasets (views) SQL views layering semantics over physical data; the preferred sync target for curated extracts. 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. Virtual datasets (views) is specific to Dremio and Sheets to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Dremio 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.

Dremio Smartsheet Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Dremio for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Dremio: Bounded by engine capacity and workload management 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.
