Smartsheet ACTION
Update Row
Update one or more rows in a sheet by row ID, addressing cells by column NAME rather than column ID. Returns the updated rows under
result. Call Get Sheet to find row IDs and column names first. To add new rows instead of changing existing ones, use Add Row to Sheet. See the documentation- Action

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Smartsheet account once, then configure and run Update Row 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-update-row",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
smartsheet: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
sheetId: "Sheet ID or URL",
rows: "Rows",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

await mcp.connect(transport)

// 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 |
rows Rows | string | JSON array of row update objects. Each needs rowId plus column name/value pairs. Quote the row ID: [{"rowId": "1234567890123456", "Status": "Done"}]. Smartsheet row IDs are 16 digits and an unquoted one can exceed what JSON parsing represents exactly, which would silently address a different row. Call Get Sheet to find row IDs and column names. Required |
