Why teams connect Smartsheet and VoltDB

Mirror Smartsheet's data into VoltDB 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 VoltDB.

Stacksync mirrors Attachments, Discussions and Comments, Users and Groups, Sheets from Smartsheet into Replicated Tables, Stored Procedures, Materialized Views, Streams in VoltDB 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 Mirror Users and Groups from an HR system or directory so sheet sharing and workspace access stay aligned with headcount changes.
  • 02 Trigger downstream actions in an operational database when a Row's status Cell changes, using sheet webhooks for near-real-time updates.
  • 03 Push aggregates from VoltDB materialized views into dashboards or operational tools.
  • 04 Sync customer or account reference data from a CRM into VoltDB replicated tables for in-transaction lookups such as fraud or policy checks.

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 VoltDB; 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 VoltDB and Stacksync propagates the change into Smartsheet, replacing custom integration code.

What you can sync between Smartsheet and VoltDB

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 VoltDB objects How this pairing syncs
Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. Materialized Views Synchronously maintained aggregates over tables, useful as pre-computed read sources. Users and Groups is specific to Smartsheet and Materialized Views to VoltDB — 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. Streams Insert-only constructs that feed the export subsystem with committed rows. Sheets is specific to Smartsheet and Streams to VoltDB — 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. Export Targets and Topics Connectors that push committed data to external systems such as Kafka or JDBC sinks. Rows is specific to Smartsheet and Export Targets and Topics to VoltDB — 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. Partitioned Tables Tables sharded across partitions by a partitioning column; the primary transactional store and sync target. Columns is specific to Smartsheet and Partitioned Tables to VoltDB — 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. Replicated Tables Small reference tables copied to every partition, a common landing spot for synced lookup data. Cells is specific to Smartsheet and Replicated Tables to VoltDB — 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. Stored Procedures Precompiled transactional units that serve as the primary write interface. Reports is specific to Smartsheet and Stored Procedures to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Smartsheet and VoltDB

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

VoltDB Smartsheet Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls VoltDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Export streams and topics push committed changes to configured targets.

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.
  • VoltDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by partition count and cluster sizing.
