Is it possible to have a developer build a custom button in smartsheets that can for example pull data from it ..into a document..
Is smartsheets open to being developed on? I have the business package.
Hi Deirdre,
While you won't be able to change the Smartsheet application (e.g. adding buttons to the interface), a developer could create the functionality you are looking for using Smartsheet's API (Application Programming Interface), which is essentially a series of functions/operations/tools allowing data to be moved in and out of an application (like Smartsheet).
The most likely scenario is that you'd embed these "buttons" in the document itself.
Kind regards,
Chris McKay
Hi Deirdre.
Depending on what you want to achieve, you could maybe use a service as Zapier or similar. You could also connect Smartsheet to Google Docs.
Can you provide some more details?
I hope this helps you!

Hello Chris and Andrée,
Thanks very much for your responses. I want to generate a documents from our sales sheet.
The document is a simple purchase order for our suppliers. So it will contain data directly held in the sheet (and some other address info but I can figure pulling that in later).
Order Number:Date:Product:Delivery Address: (based on customers address)
Somehow I'd like to auto create these documents, doesn't matter if there is a button on each row, although that would be nice.
I am aware of zapier(I'll look into this a bit more) and webmerge (we could be generating 100+ so bit expensive).. but wondered if a developer can just build something simple for me. What language is used? I'm sure that is all documentented somewhere..
Thanks,
Deirdre
Hi Deirdre;
I think that I missed your answer. How did it go? Is it solved?

Yeah it is. Depends on which technology you are working on.
Within the Add Row workflow element, Bridge throws this error when I simply trying to send a contact list value from one sheet to another sheet in Smartsheet Bridge.
