Step 3: Explore Your Dashboard
Your dashboard is the command center for all your automations.
- The dashboard shows all available tools.
- Each tool card has an "Add Configuration" option.
- Your saved configurations appear as cards on the main screen.
- Status indicators (green/red) show if your syncs are working correctly.
Step 4: Configure Your First Tool
We recommend starting with Smart Forms or Dynamic Dropdown as they are easy to test.
- Click on a tool card to open its configuration page.
- Follow the step-by-step wizard (select sheet, map columns, etc.).
- Save your configuration.
- Test it! Go to your Smartsheet and make a change that should trigger the tool.
Step 5: Verify It's Working
- Make a small change in your source sheet.
- Check the destination for updates (Wait 2-5 seconds).
- Look for the green status indicator on your configuration card.
