Smart Sheet Sync / Docs / Background Schedules

Background Schedules & Offline Authorization

With Smart Sheet Sync, your automations run on Google Cloud infrastructure independently of your local computer or active browser sessions.

Available Scheduling Frequencies

  • Every 15 Minutes: (Available on Pro & Team tiers) For near real-time operational feeds.
  • Hourly: (Available on Basic, Pro & Team tiers) Best for regular sales and CRM synchronization.
  • Daily / Weekly / Monthly: (Available on all tiers including Free) Great for end-of-day digests and periodic bookkeeping.

One-Time Offline Authorization

Because the sync runs in the cloud while your browser is closed, Google Workspace requires a one-time offline consent handshake:

  1. When you enable your first background schedule, click Authorize Background Cloud Sync.
  2. A secure Google OAuth popup will prompt you to permit offline token access.
  3. Your offline refresh token is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored securely in our Google Cloud Key Management system.
  4. Tokens remain restricted exclusively to the specific files selected under the drive.file scope.
