How do I add a row to Smartsheet?
Short answer: You can add smartsheet row in Smartsheet by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Smartsheet Add Smartsheet Row action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Sheet ID sheet_id | string | Required | The Sheet ID assigned by Smartsheet. Find via the corresponding list/search operation in this app. Use the exact ID, not a name or label. |
Cells (JSON array) cells_json | string | Required | [{"columnId":1,"value":"Build feature X"}] |
Position to_top | options | Optional | – |
Sample request
{"sheet_id": "{{trigger.sheet_id}}","cells_json": "[{\"columnId\":1,\"value\":\"Build feature X\"}]","to_top": "{{trigger.to_top}}"}
Returns
{"result": [{"id": 1001,"cells": [],"rowNumber": 5}],"message": "SUCCESS"}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.
