Smartsheet ACTION

Copy Sheet

Copy an existing sheet to a new location. Creates a complete duplicate including all rows, columns, formatting, and attachments. Specify a destination workspace or folder, or omit both to copy to the user's home (Sheets folder). Returns the new sheet's ID and permalink. Use List Sheets to find the source sheet ID. To move a sheet instead (removing it from the original location), use Move Sheet. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Smartsheet account once, then configure and run Copy Sheet from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "smartsheet-copy-sheet",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    smartsheet: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    sheetId: "Sheet ID or URL",
    newName: "New Name",
  },
})

console.log(result)

SCHEMA

Inputs

Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.

Copy Sheet inputs
Property Type Description
sheetId Sheet ID or URL string
The sheet to act on. Accepts a numeric sheet ID (e.g. 1234567890123456), or a Smartsheet sheet URL, which is resolved to the ID for you. Use List Sheets to enumerate sheets, or Search to find one by name.
Required
newName New Name string
Name for the copied sheet. If omitted, Smartsheet appends 'Copy of' to the original name.
Optional
destinationType Destination Type string
Where to copy the sheet. Defaults to home if omitted, but home has been deprecated since 2025-03-25 and will be removed - pass workspace or folder instead.
Optional
destinationId Destination ID string
The numeric ID of the destination workspace or folder (e.g. 1234567890123456). Required when Destination Type is workspace or folder, and must be omitted for home. Use List Workspace Options for workspace IDs or List Folder Options for folder IDs.
Optional
