What is the easiest way to find a Column ID?

Luis Salguero

I need to find the Column ID for a Bridge workflow for a column named Second_receiving_list.

I've clicked everywhere to no avail.

Thank you,

Luis

Hi @Luis Salguero,

This is a great question! To find the column ID in Bridge, you can use the Get Row module under Integrations>>Smartsheet in your workflow to find the column IDs.

Once you've successfully added the Get Row module to your workflow with the respective fields, trigger the workflow (whatever your trigger is, go ahead and make that action occur). Once the workflow runs, the Get Row module will return information in the Activity Log, including the column ID.

Best,

Diana

I know this is an old post put to future inquiries... Unless a better alternative exists... Make.com offers a "Get Sheet" module. Make features a free account with up to 1,000 free module runs. Pretty simple UI to navigate and it does the job.

Simply:

1. Create A Scenario
2. Favorites
3. Type "Smartsheet"
4. Select the Smartsheet icon
5. Select "Get a Sheet" and authenticate connection to SS
6. Grab your Sheet ID (Assuming if you're asking for column ID's you can find Sheet ID)
7. Paste into Sheet ID field
8. Select "Ok"
9. Right click the Module
10. Select run module only
11. Open the numeric bubble in the top right
12. Expand the Columns field

There ya go!

SSFeatures

The easiest way at the moment is by using SSFeatures.

With SSFeatures, click this "Find Column IDs" button.

And then you'll see a popup that shows you all of your column IDs.

Hope this helps!

I agree with Nathan, grabbing column IDs from within the Smartsheet app itself is the most intuitive, quick option, when you're not needing to grab the ColumnID programmatically.

The InfoSpark team were so impressed with SSFeatures when we found out about it that we immediately bought a seat for every developer and consultant, and signed on as a partner!

In my opinion, every Smartsheet power user, and especially every Bridge or integration developer should have SSFeatures installed. We've got a coupon code that you can use for 20% off your order. Use INFOSPARK at the checkout to get that.

The only problem we have with SSFeatures is that it should have been developed 3 years ago :)
