Begin by manually exporting your data from Smartsheets. Navigate to the specific sheet you wish to export, click on "File" in the top menu, and choose "Export." Select a suitable format like CSV or Excel, which are easily handled by many data processing tools. Save the exported file to your local system.
Ensure that your AWS environment is set up. This involves having an AWS account, with necessary permissions to access S3 and AWS Glue. Set up an IAM user with policies that allow access to S3 and Glue if you haven't already done so.
Log in to your AWS Management Console and navigate to Amazon S3. Click on "Create bucket" and follow the prompts to set up a new bucket. Make sure to configure permissions appropriately so that you can upload files from your local system.
Once your S3 bucket is ready, upload the exported Smartsheet data file. In the S3 console, navigate to your bucket, click on "Upload," and follow the prompts to select and upload your file. Ensure that the file is uploaded successfully and note the file path in S3.
Navigate to the AWS Glue console and set up a Data Catalog. This involves creating a database within Glue that will store metadata about your data. This step is crucial for organizing and preparing your data for transformations and queries.
In AWS Glue, create a new crawler. This crawler will scan your S3 bucket to identify the structure of your data. During the setup, specify the S3 bucket path where your data resides and choose the Glue database where the metadata should be stored. Run the crawler to populate the Data Catalog with the structure of your data.
Once the crawler has completed its task and your data is cataloged, create an AWS Glue job to process the data. This job can involve transforming the data, cleaning it, or converting it to a different format as per your needs. Use the AWS Glue console to script your job using Python or Scala, testing it thoroughly before execution.
By following these steps, you will have moved your data from Smartsheets to AWS S3 and prepared it for processing using AWS Glue, all without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.
A cloud-based management platform, Smartsheet empowers businesses to accomplish all things business.

Overall, Smartsheet's API provides a comprehensive set of tools for accessing and manipulating data within a Smartsheet account, making it a powerful tool for developers and businesses looking to integrate Smartsheet into their workflows.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
