How to load data from Smartsheets to Snowflake destination

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your Smartsheets data into Snowflake destination within minutes.

Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines

Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.

After Airbyte

Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

How to Sync to Manually

Step 1: Export Data from Smartsheet

First, log in to your Smartsheet account and open the sheet you want to export. Use the "File" menu to select "Export" and choose the CSV format. This will download your sheet as a CSV file, which can be easily manipulated and imported into Snowflake.

Step 2: Prepare the CSV File

Review the exported CSV file to ensure data integrity. Check for any formatting issues, missing values, or inconsistencies. Make adjustments if necessary to ensure the data is clean and ready for import. Save the file in a known directory on your local system.

Step 3: Access Snowflake and Create a Table

Log in to your Snowflake account and navigate to the worksheet area. Use the SQL editor to create a table that matches the structure of your CSV data. Define the table schema accurately to include column names and data types that correspond to the data in your CSV file.

Example SQL:
```sql
CREATE TABLE my_table (
column1 VARCHAR,
column2 NUMBER,
column3 DATE
);
```

Step 4: Upload CSV File to Snowflake Stage

Use the Snowflake UI or SnowSQL command-line tool to upload your CSV file to a Snowflake stage. If using SnowSQL, execute the following command to upload your file to a named stage:

```bash
PUT file://path/to/your/file.csv @my_stage;
```

Ensure you replace `path/to/your/file.csv` with the actual path to your CSV file and `my_stage` with the name of your stage.

Step 5: Copy Data into Snowflake Table

Once the file is staged, use the `COPY INTO` command in the Snowflake SQL editor to load the data from the stage into your table. You may need to specify file format options to match your CSV file's characteristics.

Example SQL:
```sql
COPY INTO my_table
FROM @my_stage/file.csv
FILE_FORMAT = (TYPE = 'CSV', FIELD_OPTIONALLY_ENCLOSED_BY = '"');
```

Step 6: Validate Data Import

After copying the data, run a simple `SELECT` query on your Snowflake table to ensure that the data has been imported correctly. Check for data integrity, correct data types, and that the number of records matches your expectations.

Example SQL:
```sql
SELECT FROM my_table LIMIT 10;
```

Step 7: Clean Up and Optimize

Once you have verified that the data is correctly loaded, remove the CSV file from the Snowflake stage to save storage space. You can also apply any necessary optimization techniques, such as creating indexes or clustering keys, to improve query performance on your newly imported data.

Example SQL:
```sql
REMOVE @my_stage/file.csv;
```

By following these steps, you can successfully move data from Smartsheet to Snowflake without relying on third-party tools.
