Tracking project data across multiple sheets and team members is hard enough without manually exporting reports. Connect Smartsheet to Klipfolio and your project metrics update automatically in a shared, real-time dashboard.

How to connect Smartsheet to Klipfolio

Klipfolio connects to Smartsheet using an API key. The setup takes four steps.

  1. Generate your Smartsheet Access Token. In your Smartsheet account, create an access token. You'll use this to authenticate the connection in Klipfolio. See Authentication and Access Tokens in the Smartsheet docs.
  2. Find your Sheet ID. Open the sheet you want to pull data from. Select the Sheet Actions icon in the left menu, then choose Properties. Copy the Sheet ID.
  3. Open the Connector Gallery in Klipfolio. Go to Service Connectors and select Smartsheet. Choose a pre-built or custom connection.
  4. Configure your connection. Enter your API endpoint URL (for example,

    https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/sheets/

    ), set Data Format to Excel, and add your access token as an Authorization header using the format:

    Bearer <yourAccessToken>

    . Click Get data, review the results, then save your data source.

Top reasons to use Klipfolio for Smartsheet dashboards

  • See project status in real time. Klipfolio pulls live data from your Smartsheet sheets and reports, so your dashboard reflects the current state of every project without manual exports.

  • Combine Smartsheet with other tools. Merge data from Smartsheet alongside your CRM, finance, or HR tools in a single dashboard — giving stakeholders one place to check progress across the business.

  • Distribute dashboards your way. Share live dashboards via link, embed them in your intranet, schedule PDF email reports, or display them on a TV in the office.

  • Build without writing code. Use pre-built Smartsheet data requests or customize your own queries with Excel-like formulas and 30+ visualization types — no developer required.

  • Control who sees what. Granular permissions let you share the right data with the right people, whether that's your team, leadership, or an external client.

Use the Connector Gallery to create a custom Smartsheet dashboard

With our Connector Gallery, you can create custom API queries to pull in data from your Smartsheet account. Building custom queries allows you to specify the metrics and time periods that you want to track.

You can use custom queries to build out visualizations in Klipfolio. You can also combine your Smartsheet data with other relevant data to create your custom dashboard.
