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)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:

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

Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
