FAQ

Questions about Smartsheet Search.

What does the Smartsheet Search action do in Smartsheet?

Cross-sheet full-text search. Returns matching cells with sheet ID and row reference. For "find this customer's record across all sheets" patterns.

What inputs does Smartsheet Search require?

Required: Query. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Smartsheet returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Smartsheet returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Smartsheet Search support batch operations?

Run Smartsheet Search inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Smartsheet's rate limits.
