TriggerFlow
TriggerFlow is a Smartsheet automation tool that sync single column between sheets conditionally. Smartsheet automations copy ENTIRE rows. SmartSyncApp solves this by: define trigger condition (e.g., status = "enrolled").
What Smartsheet Can't Do
- Smartsheet automations copy ENTIRE rows
- No way to copy just one specific column
- Example: Student enrolls → You only need their name in another sheet
- Native automation copies all 20 columns (overkill)
- Manual copy-paste for selective data
How TriggerFlow Solves This
- Define trigger condition (e.g., Status = "Enrolled")
- Select ONE column to sync
- Reference column matches rows between sheets
- Only selected data moves, nothing else
- Webhook-based real-time sync
