Which Smartsheet calls the app can make
Every Smartsheet call goes through a strict allowlist: the current user, the sheet list, sheet search, one sheet's contents, and one sheet's publish settings. Nothing else is reachable, and publish settings only accept an audience of everyone or your organisation.
#Where you do it
Task | Where |
|---|---|
Insert the macro | Confluence editor → /Smartsheet |
Embed a sheet by pasting its link | Paste a Smartsheet URL straight into the editor, or into the macro's "Publish or sheet URL" field |
Connect your Smartsheet account | Macro settings → Log in to Smartsheet, or the space page's Connect Smartsheet chip |
#Settings that affect this
Setting | Where | What it does |

#Worth knowing
Not in the Capable Suite. Smartsheet is bought as a separate app.
The macro contributes nothing to page exports.
Pages carrying this macro that are published through Capable Sites have no static rendering for it.
A Smartsheet admin can block publishing outright, or restrict published links to your organisation. The app names these cases rather than failing silently.
The Interactive table only reaches readers without their own Smartsheet account once the author presses "Set up viewer access". Without it, a reader sees a Connect panel instead of the data. Which an anonymous visitor cannot complete.
Sharing options only appear for a sheet chosen through a Smartsheet connection. If the macro was set up by pasting a publish link, only Width and Height can be edited.
