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- Action

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",
},
})

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 |
|---|---|---|
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 |
