Integrate Smartsheet

Deploy the Smartsheet integration to manage sheets, discussions, update requests, and attachments.

For comprehensive details of the out-of-the-box microapps for Smartsheet, seeUse Smartsheet microapps.

Note:

This Smartsheet integration template is released inCitrix Labscategory. This allows the functionality to mature as a result of initial customer feedback. For Citrix Labs templates, there is no commitment to support and support is provided by the developer on a best-effort basis. Citrix Labs integration templates are shared for the purpose of testing/validation. We do not advise deploying them in production environments. Citrix Labs templates are listed in a separate section. We want your feedback! Please providefeedback for this integration templateas you use it. For any issues, our team will also monitor ourdedicated forumon a daily basis.

Review prerequisites

These prerequisites assume that the administrator will be a part of the SmartSheet integration set up of the organization. This Smartsheet admin account must have full read privileges for all users and sheets informations.

After you set up this integration with Smartsheet, you will need these artifacts to add the integration in Citrix Workspace Microapps:

  • Base URL:https://api.smartsheet.com/
  • Authorization URL:https://app.smartsheet.com/b/authorize
  • Token URL:https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/token
  • Client ID: The client ID is the string representing client registration information unique to the authorization server. You collect this asApplication Keywhen you configure the OAuth server.
  • Secret: The client secret is a unique string issued when setting up the target application integration. You collect this asApplication Keywhen you configure the OAuth server.

Note:

It is recommended that you always use OAuth 2.0 as your service authentication method where available. OAuth 2.0 ensures that your integration meets the maximum security compliance with your configured microapp.

Configure Citrix Gateway to support single sign-on for Blackboard so that once users log in they are automatically logged in again without having to enter their credentials a second time. For more information about configuring SSO, seeCitrix Gateway Service.

Create a service account

The integration requires regular access to your Smartsheet instance, so we recommend creating a dedicated user account. This account must have the following permissions for your Service Account: Full administrator privileges. You can view the permission/privileges usinghttps://admin.smartsheet.com.

To create a service account, sign up here:https://app.smartsheet.com/b/signup. Ensure that the paid account is available to create a new service account.

In case of issues setting up the new service account, please connect to the respective sales support team or customer support team:https://www.smartsheet.com/contact/sales?fts=contact.

You are now ready to set and run your first data synchronization.

Synchronization

Due to the API call limit, incremental synchronization is setup to retain only List org sheets, List org discussions, and Get all org sentupdaterequests. The remaining endpoints will be triggered as part of full synchronization.

We recommend setting theFull Synchronizationinterval asDailyandIncremental Synchronizationinterval asEvery 5 minsto regularly refresh data from Smartsheet to the Microapps platform and receive timely notifications. For complete information about synchronization rules, synchronization that does not meet its schedule and veto rules, seeSynchronize data.

Note:

The pagination limit is set to 100. Administrators can extend this limit based on APIs.

The default value forMax pages to load variableis set as shown below:

Endpoint Name Value
List Org Sheets 50
List Groups 10
List Org Discussions 10
Get all org sentupdaterequests 10
List Sheets 50
Get Sheets 10
List Sheet Shares 10
List Groups 50
