Why teams connect Freshworks CRM and Smartsheet

Sync what happens in Smartsheet with the customer records in Freshworks CRM, 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 Users and Groups, Sheets, Rows, Columns in Smartsheet to Accounts, Deals, Tasks, Appointments in Freshworks CRM with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Smartsheet update the matching contact or account in Freshworks CRM, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Smartsheet can store and use it.

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 Two-way sync accounts and deals with an ERP so quotes and invoices reference the same customer records.
  • 04 Keep list membership aligned with segments computed in the warehouse.

Common sync patterns

Where Smartsheet supplies contact or company data

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

Where Smartsheet can store CRM context: fields kept current

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

What you can sync between Freshworks CRM 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.

Freshworks CRM objects Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts Unified sales-and-marketing person records; the core entity for bidirectional syncs. 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. Contacts is specific to Freshworks CRM and Sheets to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Company records kept consistent with ERP and billing systems. Rows Records inside a sheet, each with createdAt/modifiedAt and cells keyed by columnId; the primary unit synced to and from external tables. Accounts is specific to Freshworks CRM and Rows to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deals Pipeline records synced out for forecasting and full-funnel 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. Deals is specific to Freshworks CRM and Columns to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Follow-ups created from external signals such as product usage events. Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Tasks is specific to Freshworks CRM and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Appointments Meeting records readable for activity reporting. Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. Appointments is specific to Freshworks CRM and Reports to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales activities Logged activity types used in engagement and productivity analysis. Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. Sales activities is specific to Freshworks CRM and Attachments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
