Why teams connect Smartsheet and Starburst Enterprise

Get the data locked inside Smartsheet into Starburst Enterprise 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 Starburst Enterprise continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Starburst Enterprise 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 Consolidate reads from multiple databases behind a single connection instead of maintaining one integration per source
  • 04 Write curated or reconciled results back to lakehouse tables through connectors that support inserts

Common sync patterns

Analytics on Smartsheet's data

Records and events from Smartsheet land in Starburst Enterprise 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.

Where Smartsheet accepts updates: operational write-back

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

What you can sync between Smartsheet and Starburst Enterprise

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.

Smartsheet objects Starburst Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Users and Groups is specific to Smartsheet and Catalogs to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Sheets is specific to Smartsheet and Schemas to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Records inside a sheet, each with createdAt/modifiedAt and cells keyed by columnId; the primary unit synced to and from external tables. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Rows is specific to Smartsheet and Tables to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Cells is specific to Smartsheet and Views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Reports is specific to Smartsheet and Materialized views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Smartsheet and Starburst Enterprise

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.

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

Starburst Enterprise Smartsheet Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Starburst Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

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

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.
  • Starburst Enterprise: Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas.
