# Connect Salesforce and Smartsheet

When **New object record** fires in [Salesforce](https://apiant.ai/connections/salesforce), your agent runs **Add row** in [Smartsheet](https://apiant.ai/connections/smartsheet), or **New row** in Smartsheet to **Create object record** in Salesforce. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want Salesforce and Smartsheet to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

[Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code)

### Claude, web and desktop

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

### Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

Connecting Smartsheet and Salesforce lets the sheets your delivery team works in and the records your sales team works in describe the same deals. A new row on a Smartsheet tracker can open a record in Salesforce, and a change in Salesforce can write back to the row that tracks it. The agent builds the connection, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

Questions

## Salesforce and Smartsheet, answered

###

### How does a Smartsheet row find the right Salesforce record?

Salesforce has actions to find object records by a field and value, or to run a SOQL query, so the agent can match on an account name, email or an ID you keep in a column. Once the record is found, it can be read with Get object record or changed with Update object record.

###

### Can a change in Salesforce update the row that already exists in Smartsheet?

Yes. The New or updated object record trigger fires on each change, and Smartsheet's Find rows by column value action locates the row holding that record's ID. The agent can then use Update row, or move or delete the row if that is what you want.

###

### What can start an automation from Salesforce?

Any of Salesforce's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New object record and New or updated object record. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in Smartsheet when something happens in Salesforce?

Any of Smartsheet's 26 actions, including Add row, Find rows by column value, Update row and Update sheet. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Smartsheet to Salesforce?

Yes. When something happens in Smartsheet, your agent can act in Salesforce too. This page covers both directions: Smartsheet's triggers and Salesforce's actions are listed here as well.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Salesforce or Smartsheet?

No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

###

### Can my AI client use Salesforce and Smartsheet without building an automation?

Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.

###

### What happens when something fails?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Is there a free plan?

Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
