Real-time data sync with full control, no coding required

Custom sync rules

Use intuitive rules (conditions or filters) to determine exactly what data to sync, such as Smartsheet sheet, parent row, status column, Azure DevOps work item type, iteration path, and more.

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.

Historical data sync

Sync historical records from any point in time, across even the largest datasets. Unito is purpose-built for enterprise-scale alignment across all your tools.

Comment & attachment support

Sync comments and attachments across Azure DevOps and Smartsheet so portfolio stakeholders see the conversation behind a row's status without opening Azure DevOps.

Live data transformation

Transform data in real time with transformers to combine fields, convert HTML to text, extract values, or apply custom string logic through JSON settings.

Enterprise-grade sync without the enterprise-grade complexity

Enterprise-grade product-engineering sync usually arrives with weeks of services hours. Unito brings the same reliability between Azure DevOps and Smartsheet with self-serve setup and field-level configurability.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Azure DevOps and Smartsheet with an intuitive, out-of-the-box solution that allows for full configurability of your integration. No custom logic, scripting, or engineering-led setup required.
Abstracted complexity

Lower total cost of ownership

Most iPaaS tools drive up cost with long rollouts and heavy upkeep. Unito lowers TCO with fast time to value, and no specialized headcount to maintain or scale integrations.

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.
