Hi @KenHigg

If you have access to the Live Data Connector, you can connect Smartsheet with an ODBC data source - however this connection is read only from Smartsheet. This means you can take data from Smartsheet and create reports in Tableau, for example.

See: Connect Smartsheet with Tableau (WDC) and Other Apps (ODBC). Here's the overview in the Live Data Connector guide with more information.

If you need to update/write to Smartsheet, you could use the Smartsheet API, or depending on what you need to connect, you could use Bridge or DataShuttle. Finally, there may be some third party applications (such as Zapier) that can help you connect your sources together.

Cheers,

Genevieve
