Why teams connect Postgres Heroku and Smartsheet
Mirror Smartsheet's data into Postgres Heroku so your own code can read and write it like any other table, with changes flowing both ways in seconds.
Engineers integrate with tools like Smartsheet through APIs, which means auth, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and retry logic, all maintained forever and all different for every tool. Meanwhile the data would be trivial to use if it simply lived in Postgres Heroku.
Stacksync mirrors Reports, Attachments, Discussions and Comments, Users and Groups from Smartsheet into Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns, Sequences, Follower Databases in Postgres Heroku and keeps both sides in sync in real time. Your services query the database directly, and inserts or updates your code makes flow back into Smartsheet, so the tool and the database never disagree.
Common use cases
- 01 Trigger downstream actions in an operational database when a Row's status Cell changes, using sheet webhooks for near-real-time updates.
- 02 Two-way sync a project-tracker Sheet's Rows with a Postgres table so engineering works in SQL while project managers stay in Smartsheet.
- 03 Sync Heroku Postgres into a warehouse for reporting without running ETL dynos
- 04 Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
Common sync patterns
React to changes as they happen
Updates in Smartsheet arrive as row changes in Postgres Heroku, so triggers, jobs, and services can respond in near real time.
One integration pattern for the whole stack
Every synced tool looks the same from the database, so each new integration is configuration, not a new codebase.
Read Smartsheet with a query
Records from Smartsheet are ordinary rows in Postgres Heroku; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.
What you can sync between Postgres Heroku 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.
| Postgres Heroku objects | Smartsheet objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. | Rows Records inside a sheet, each with createdAt/modifiedAt and cells keyed by columnId; the primary unit synced to and from external tables. | Schemas is specific to Postgres Heroku and Rows to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. | Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. | Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Postgres Heroku and Columns to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. | Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. | JSONB Columns is specific to Postgres Heroku and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. | Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. | Sequences is specific to Postgres Heroku and Reports to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources. | Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. | Follower Databases is specific to Postgres Heroku and Attachments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. | Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. | Tables is specific to Postgres Heroku and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Postgres Heroku 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.
Postgres Heroku Smartsheet Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Postgres Heroku for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Smartsheet through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Smartsheet Postgres Heroku 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 Postgres Heroku as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Rate-limit considerations
- Postgres Heroku: No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan.
- 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.

FAQ
Postgres Heroku and Smartsheet integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Postgres Heroku and Smartsheet: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Postgres Heroku's Schemas and Primary and Unique Keys), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Postgres Heroku and Smartsheet records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Postgres Heroku and Smartsheet connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Postgres Heroku–Smartsheet integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Postgres Heroku and Smartsheet. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Postgres Heroku: Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings. On Smartsheet: Sheet-scoped webhooks subscribed to *.* events notify on row and cell changes; otherwise polling on sheet and row modifiedAt timestamps. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Smartsheet side: Reports, Attachments, Discussions and Comments, Users and Groups, plus custom fields where Smartsheet exposes them. On the Postgres Heroku side: Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns, Sequences, Follower Databases. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
