How Zapier works
Zapier makes it easy to integrate Smartsheet with SQL Server - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.
Choose a trigger
A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "Get Reports" from Smartsheet.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Create Custom Query" in SQL Server.

Practical ways you can use Smartsheet and SQL Server
Log new database entries in Smartsheet
When a new row is added to an SQL Server table, Zapier automatically creates a new row in a Smartsheet sheet. This helps track database changes in a structured and shareable report.
Engineering
Sync row updates to SQL Server database
When a Smartsheet row is updated, Zapier automatically updates the corresponding row in an SQL Server database. This keeps databases in sync without manual intervention, reducing errors and saving time.
IT
Track database updates in Smartsheet
When a row in an SQL Server table is modified, Zapier updates the corresponding row in Smartsheet. This keeps project managers updated with database changes without switching platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions about Smartsheet + SQL Server integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Smartsheet and SQL Server
How can I connect Smartsheet with SQL Server?
You can integrate Smartsheet with SQL Server using tools like Zapier by setting up triggers and actions. For example, a trigger could be a new row in Smartsheet, and the action could be to insert the updated data into an SQL Server database.
What are common triggers to use when connecting Smartsheet with SQL Server?
Common triggers include new or updated rows in a specific sheet within Smartsheet. These triggers allow you to automate actions, such as adding or updating corresponding records in your SQL Server database.
Can I update a Smartsheet based on changes in my SQL Server database?
Yes, by setting up the right automation flow, you can have updates in your SQL Server automatically reflect back as changes in your Smartsheet. This would involve creating a trigger based on updates in your SQL database that then prompts an update action in Smartsheet.
What actions can I perform on my SQL Server using data from Smartsheet?
You can perform several actions such as creating records, updating existing entries, or even deleting records in your SQL Server database based on data changes detected from triggers set up within your Smartsheet.
Is it possible to automate data synchronization between Smartsheet and SQL Server?
Absolutely! Automated workflows allow for real-time syncing between the two platforms using appropriate triggers like row additions or edits and corresponding actions that update either platform accordingly.
Do I need any programming skills to set up an integration between Smartsheet and SQL Server?
No programming skills are required if you use an integration platform like Zapier. Our user-friendly interface allows you to set up automated workflows using simple pre-defined triggers and actions without writing any code.
What challenges might arise when integrating these two platforms?
Potential challenges include ensuring accurate mapping of data fields between platforms, dealing with API limitations such as rate limits, and handling complex logic that might require advanced configurations of our pre-defined triggers and actions.
