Overview
This node integrates with the Smartsheet API to fetch all available sheets in a user's account. It is useful for automating workflows that require access to or management of multiple Smartsheet sheets, such as reporting, data aggregation, or synchronizing sheet lists with other systems.
Practical examples:
- Retrieve a list of all sheets to display in a dashboard.
- Use the output as input for further automation, such as iterating over each sheet to extract data.
- Synchronize Smartsheet sheet metadata with another database or service.

Output
The node outputs an array of objects, each representing a Smartsheet sheet. Each object typically contains the following fields:
id: The unique identifier of the sheet.name: The name of the sheet.- Additional metadata fields as provided by the Smartsheet API (such as creation date, modified date, etc.).
Example output:
[
{
"id": 123456789,
"name": "Project Plan",
// ...other sheet metadata fields
},
{
"id": 987654321,
"name": "Budget Tracker"
// ...other sheet metadata fields
}
]
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to the Smartsheet API.
- API Key: You must configure n8n with valid Smartsheet API credentials (
smartsheetApi). - n8n Configuration: Ensure the Smartsheet credential is set up in your n8n instance.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Credentials: If the API key is missing or incorrect, you may receive authentication errors from the Smartsheet API. Double-check your credentials in n8n.
- API Rate Limits: Smartsheet enforces rate limits. If too many requests are made in a short period, you may encounter rate limit errors. Wait and retry after some time.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and Smartsheet can cause request failures. Ensure network access to api.smartsheet.com.
