Why teams connect Smartsheet and Tinybird

Get the data locked inside Smartsheet into Tinybird 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 Users and Groups, Sheets, Rows, Columns from Smartsheet into tables in Tinybird continuously, handling schema, rate limits, and retries. Because the sync is bi-directional, results computed in Tinybird can also be written back into fields in Smartsheet where the tool can use them.

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 Stream CRM activity such as deals and tickets into Tinybird Data Sources to power customer-facing dashboards.
  • 04 Sync order events from an ERP into Tinybird to serve low-latency operational analytics endpoints.

Common sync patterns

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 Tinybird sync back onto records in Smartsheet, putting analysis where the work happens.

History that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Tinybird preserves a queryable record even as data ages out of Smartsheet or gets changed inside it.

What you can sync between Smartsheet and Tinybird

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 Tinybird objects How this pairing syncs
Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results. Discussions and Comments is specific to Smartsheet and Pipes to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface. Users and Groups is specific to Smartsheet and API Endpoints to Tinybird — 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. Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time. Sheets is specific to Smartsheet and Materialized Views to Tinybird — 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. Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync. Rows is specific to Smartsheet and Workspaces to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource. Columns is specific to Smartsheet and Tokens to Tinybird — 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. Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird. Cells is specific to Smartsheet and Data Sources to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Smartsheet and Tinybird

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

Tinybird Smartsheet Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Tinybird for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Append-oriented ingestion.

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.
  • Tinybird: Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.
