Smartsheet ACTION

Create Sheet

Create a new blank sheet with its column schema defined up front, inside a workspace or a folder. Returns the new sheet under result, including its ID and permalink. To create a sheet from an existing template instead of defining columns, use New Sheet From Template. To load a sheet from a CSV or XLSX file, use Import Sheet. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Smartsheet account once, then configure and run Create 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-create-sheet",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    smartsheet: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    sheetName: "Sheet Name",
    columns: "Columns",
  },
})

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.

Create Sheet inputs
Property Type Description
sheetName Sheet Name string
Name for the new sheet.
Required
columns Columns string
JSON array of column objects. Each needs a title and a type. The first column with primary: true becomes the primary column; if none is marked, the first column is used. Valid types: TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, ABSTRACT_DATETIME, CONTACT_LIST, MULTI_CONTACT_LIST, CHECKBOX, PICKLIST, MULTI_PICKLIST, DURATION, PREDECESSOR. PICKLIST and MULTI_PICKLIST take an optional options array; the API also accepts them with no options. validation is rejected here, add it afterwards with Update Column. Example: [{"title": "Task", "type": "TEXT_NUMBER", "primary": true}, {"title": "Due Date", "type": "DATE"}, {"title": "Status", "type": "PICKLIST", "options": ["Open", "In Progress", "Done"]}]
Required
workspaceId Workspace ID string
Place the sheet in this workspace (e.g. 1234567890123456). Provide either this or Folder ID, not both; at least one is required because the home-level create endpoint is deprecated. Use List Workspace Options to find workspace IDs.
Optional
folderId Folder ID string
Place the sheet in this folder (e.g. 9876543210987654). Provide either Workspace ID or Folder ID (at least one is required). Use List Folder Options with a workspace ID to find folder IDs.
Optional
