Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow field by field. Map any native or custom fields — including Smartsheet columns and Azure DevOps custom fields — and define flow direction for each, with item matching to prevent duplicates.

Full relationship support

Sync hierarchies and lookup fields across tools, keeping Smartsheet workspaces, sheets, parent rows, and sub-rows aligned with Azure DevOps Initiatives, Epics, and User Stories.

Hand off project work from Smartsheet to engineering in Azure DevOps

PMOs and project managers run portfolio work in Smartsheet — multi-stream projects across vendors, ops, and engineering. When a project row needs engineering, it has to land in Azure DevOps as a work item with the right area path and iteration. Unito creates the ADO work item automatically and keeps both sides in sync.

Turn Smartsheet rows into Azure DevOps work items automatically

A Smartsheet row scoped for engineering creates a matching ADO user story. Status, assignee, story points, and target date sync both ways so the portfolio sheet reflects sprint reality.

Preserve sheet hierarchy and engineering structure

Map Smartsheet workspaces and parent rows to Azure DevOps Initiatives and Epics. Sub-rows link to user stories or sub-tasks. Sheet indent matches engineering hierarchy.

Close the loop for PMO and leadership

Once handed off, the Smartsheet row stays current as engineering ships. Finance, ops, and leadership see what's actually in the sprint, not what was true at last week's status update.

Advanced syncing use cases for Azure DevOps and Smartsheet workflows

Keep portfolio status aligned with engineering

A Smartsheet row links to an Azure DevOps user story carrying iteration, area path, components, tags, and blocking relationships. Status, assignee, and comments flow both ways so the portfolio sheet shows live engineering progress.

Sync engineering effort to capacity planning

Story points, hours, and iteration assignments flow from Azure DevOps into the Smartsheet resource and capacity sheet ops and finance already maintain. Capacity decisions get made against live engineering reality, not a quarterly forecast.

Give legal, finance, and ops visibility

Non-engineering teams read the Smartsheet they already use: engineering status, blockers, and resolution dates sync two ways. Legal reviews timing, finance tracks billables, ops plans dependencies – without an ADO license or a status meeting.

Frequently asked questions about Azure DevOps and Smartsheet

Can a Smartsheet portfolio roll up several Azure DevOps projects?

Yes. Each flow connects one sheet to one Azure DevOps area, so a portfolio sheet can pull rows from multiple Azure DevOps projects into one consolidated view.

Will Smartsheet parent rows mirror Azure DevOps Epic hierarchy?

Yes. Map parent rows to Epics and sub-rows to user stories or sub-tasks. The indent structure on the sheet reflects the engineering hierarchy in Azure DevOps.

Does Unito sync Smartsheet column types with Azure DevOps custom fields?

Yes. Smartsheet text, dropdown, date, and contact list columns map to Azure DevOps fields with direction control per field. Each side keeps the values it needs.
