How to create webhook for sheet as third party?
Hi Smartsheet Community,
Our startup has fairly simple use case to update our backend systems when a third party Smartsheet document is updated that we have view access to.
Based on our research, I understand that as a third party, the only way to receive webhook notification updates is by using a SmartsheetWorkAppwhich requires Enterprise access.
I tried subscribing a webhook to the sheet once we were given the Sheet ID but the API fails, I assume this was because we do not have access or correct privilege.
Is it true this use case requires Enterprise access? If not, please describe how we can get webhook updates?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers
Nick

Licensed users on either aBusinessorEnterpriseplan have access to the Smartsheet API. Here's the link to theDeveloper's Portal.
Even if you have view-only access to the sheet, you should still be able to use your Access Token to watch the sheet for changes using Webhooks. Here's theAPI documentation on Webhooks.
Cheers,
Genevieve

I haven't tested it yet, but I feel like it should work.<\/p>"},{"commentID":386435,"body":"
Right. There are already a number of posts here in the community detailing how to pull a distinct or unique list from another sheet via formula. It usually involves the formula above without the LOWER function. The number 1 would output the first distinct value. Changing that to a 2 will output the second distinct value, so on and so forth. I usually use a helper column with the numbers manually entered so I can apply it as a column formula.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":320,"name":"API & Developers","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/api-developers","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":369,"urlcode":"bridge-by-smartsheet","name":"Bridge"}]},{"discussionID":107674,"type":"question","name":"API PUT and Body help for Cell link from a cell in sheet \"a\" to sheet \"b\"","excerpt":"I am having trouble linking a cell from sheet a to b.

Here is the basic process to conditionally format the background of a cell based on its contents. In this scenario, you would need to setup three format options, one for each color\/selection.<\/p>
