How to connect Harvest and Smartsheet
Create a New Scenario to Connect Harvest and Smartsheet
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Harvest, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Harvest or Smartsheet will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Harvest or Smartsheet, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Harvest Node
Select the Harvest node from the app selection panel on the right.

- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, Smartsheet, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Harvest and Smartsheet integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest and Smartsheet (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Harvest and Smartsheet
Harvest + Smartsheet + Slack: When a project in Harvest reaches its budget limit, a new row is automatically created in Smartsheet to track the overage. A notification is then sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the team.
Smartsheet + Harvest + Google Calendar: When a new row is added to Smartsheet, a corresponding time entry is created in Harvest to track work on the task. This time entry is then added as an event to Google Calendar for scheduling and reminders.
