Display Status.Smartsheet.com in Smartsheet Dashboard?

NeilKY

Is there a way to display the Smartsheet Status (status.smartsheet.com) in a Smartsheet Dashboard?

It could be an abbreviated version that just gives "All systems operational" or "There's a problem somewhere"

I'm aware you can sign up for email updates, text messages, RSS feed, Slack, and even webhook, but I am not sure how to get utilize any of those methods to get the status into a dashboard?

@NeilKY simple way… no…. complex way yes but probably not worth it….

here is what you can import via web content

So your options to get this information onto a dashboard are basically, you can get it into a sheet or into an image. To do this there is no official API that pulls status info. So you'd be left scraping the site regularly and updating a sheet with the formatted parsed results. That can then go onto a report and then a dashboard.

Altogether I'd say not worth it when you can put a link on a dashboard and people can check from there
