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
