Getting Started with SmartSync

Welcome to the SmartSync beta! Follow this step-by-step guide to connect your Smartsheet account and set up your first automation in minutes.

Step 1: Create your Account

  • Go to smartsyncapp.com
  • Click "Join Beta Free"
  • Enter your email address and create a secure password
  • Check your email for a verification link and click it to verify your account
Create Account

Step 2: Connect Your Smartsheet Account

  • After login, you'll see a "Connect to Smartsheet" prompt on the dashboard.
  • Click the button to be redirected to Smartsheet's login page.
  • Enter YOUR Smartsheet credentials (we never see these).
  • Review the permissions SmartSync is requesting and click "Allow".
  • You'll be redirected back to the SmartSync dashboard.
Important Note:
- One SmartSync account = One Smartsheet account
- You cannot connect multiple Smartsheet accounts to one SmartSync user
- To change accounts later, you must contact support

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.

  1. Click on a tool card to open its configuration page.
  2. Follow the step-by-step wizard (select sheet, map columns, etc.).
  3. Save your configuration.
  4. 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.
