Intro

Smartsheet is an online project management, productivity and team collaboration SaaS application. Use this connector to export your data from a Domo DataSet to a specified Smartsheet workspace or folder. To learn more about the Smartsheet API, visit their website (https://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/ ). You export data to Smartsheet in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Smartsheet Writeback connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Note: The owner of a writeback dataset must also be an owner or co-owner of the input dataset.

​
Prerequisites

To configure this connector, you will need a Domo Client ID and Client Secret. To create a Domo client ID and client secret, do the following:
  1. Navigate to https://developer.domo.com and log in.
  2. Click New Client (found under “My Account” in the top right corner).
  3. Create a new client with Application Scopes of Data and User. When you click Create, you will be redirected to the client ID and client secret.
  4. Copy the client ID and client secret, as you will need them soon.

​
Configuring the Connection

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Smartsheet Writeback Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
