Smartsheet ACTION

List Columns

List all columns in a sheet, returning each column's ID, title, type, options (for PICKLIST/CONTACT_LIST), validation, and position index. This is lighter-weight than Get Sheet when you only need the column schema and not row data. Use this before Add Row to Sheet or Update Row to discover column names and types. For full sheet data including rows, use Get Sheet instead. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Smartsheet account once, then configure and run List Columns 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-list-columns",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    smartsheet: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    sheetId: "Sheet ID or URL",
    level: 10,
  },
})

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.

List Columns 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
level Level integer
Response format for multi-value columns. At the default level 0 a MULTI_PICKLIST or MULTI_CONTACT_LIST column is reported as TEXT_NUMBER for backwards compatibility, so pass 2 when you need the real column type.
Optional

REFERENCE
