Why teams connect Materialize and Smartsheet

Get the data locked inside Smartsheet into Materialize 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 Rows, Columns, Cells, Reports from Smartsheet into tables in Materialize continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Materialize 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 operational CRM or ERP data into Materialize so real-time views stay current without batch loads.
  • 04 Read computed view results back into a CRM or application database as derived fields.

Common sync patterns

Where Smartsheet accepts updates: operational write-back

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

History that outlives the tool

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

What you can sync between Materialize 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.

Materialize objects Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas & Databases Namespaces that organize objects a sync targets. Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Schemas & Databases is specific to Materialize and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables User-managed tables that accept INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from sync pipelines. Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. Tables is specific to Materialize and Reports to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sources Ingestion points (Kafka, Postgres CDC, MySQL CDC, webhook) that feed external data into Materialize. Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. Sources is specific to Materialize and Attachments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets. Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Materialized Views is specific to Materialize and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sinks Outbound connections that emit view changes to Kafka topics. Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. Sinks is specific to Materialize and Users and Groups to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes In-memory arrangements that make view reads fast for serving workloads. 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. Indexes is specific to Materialize and Sheets to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Materialize 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.

Materialize Smartsheet Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Materialize are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
