2. In the project, right-click within the Connection Managers window and select New Connection from the menu.
3. In the Description column, select CData Smartsheet Connection Manager and click Add...
4. Configure the component as described in the next section.

Alternatively, if you have an existing project and CData Smartsheet Source or CData Smartsheet Destination:

1. Right-click your CData Smartsheet source or destination component in your data flow
2. Select Edit... to open an editor window.
3. Click the New... button next to the Connection manager: dropdown selector to create a connection manager.
4. Configure the component as described in the next section.

Connecting to Smartsheet

Smartsheet supports connections via the following authentication methods:

• Using the Personal Access Token

Personal Access Token

Use the personal token to test and to access your own data. To obtain the personal token, follow the steps below:

1. Log into Smartsheet.
2. Click Account and select Personal Settings.
3. Click API Access and use the form to generate new access tokens or manage existing access tokens.

Set the AuthScheme to PersonalAccessToken. You can then set the PersonalAccessToken to the token you generated.

Synch Connections

Before you connect, set the following variables:

• OAuthClientId: The client Id assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.
• OAuthClientSecret: The client secret assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.

Click Connect to Smartsheet to open the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application.

The driver then completes the OAuth process as follows:

• Extracts the access token from the callback URL.
• Obtains a new access token when the old one expires.
• Saves OAuth values so that they persist across connections.
