Why teams connect RavenDB and Smartsheet

Mirror Smartsheet's data into RavenDB 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 RavenDB.

Stacksync mirrors Reports, Attachments, Discussions and Comments, Users and Groups from Smartsheet into Time series, Data subscriptions, Documents, Collections in RavenDB 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 Pull Reports and Sheets into a warehouse for cross-project reporting and dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Mirror Users and Groups from an HR system or directory so sheet sharing and workspace access stay aligned with headcount changes.
  • 03 Sync operational documents such as orders and profiles between RavenDB and a CRM so business teams see application data.
  • 04 Mirror reference data from relational systems into RavenDB collections that serve application reads.

Common sync patterns

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 RavenDB; join them, index them, and use them in application logic without touching the vendor API.

Automate Smartsheet from your codebase

Write to the synced tables in RavenDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Smartsheet, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between RavenDB 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.

RavenDB objects Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Attachments Binary payloads stored with documents, handled separately from the JSON body Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Time series Timestamped measurements stored per document, synced for metrics analysis Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. Time series is specific to RavenDB and Columns to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data subscriptions Server-side change feeds that push matching documents to consumers Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Data subscriptions is specific to RavenDB and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents JSON records, the primary unit read and written during sync Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. Documents is specific to RavenDB and Reports to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections Groupings of documents by type, mapped to tables in relational targets Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Collections is specific to RavenDB and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Static and auto indexes used to query documents for filtered reads Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. Indexes is specific to RavenDB and Users and Groups to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between RavenDB 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.

RavenDB Smartsheet Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in RavenDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Data subscriptions and the Changes API provide server-pushed change feeds.

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

Smartsheet RavenDB 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 written to RavenDB through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • RavenDB: Throughput bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas.
  • 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.
