Smartsheet Connection

Smartsheet application on Connect iPaaS uses OAuth authorization and API Key authorization. By linking your Smartsheet account with Connect iPaaS using OAuth, you can authorize RoboMQ to have a delegated access on your behalf. RoboMQ needs the following permissions on your account to provide a seamless integration experience:

Object	Permission
Sheet Row Object	Read and Write Permission on sheets (READ_SHEETS, WRITE_SHEETS)
Sheet Object	Permission to create sheet (CREATE_SHEETS)
Webhooks	Admin Permission on managing Webhooks (ADMIN_WEBHOOKS)
Users	Permission to read users (READ_USERS)

Please refer here to learn more about Smartsheet OAuth permissions used by Connect iPaaS.

Using the API Key connection mechanism, you can authorize Connect iPaaS to have the same level of access as the user principal of the account that generated the API key. These permissions may be more permissive than what could be achieved by using OAuth. For security considerations, we recommend using OAuth wherever available.

We at RoboMQ pay utmost attention to keep your account secure. See our Security and Privacy Policies to learn more about how RoboMQ handles your account access.
