A guide to Smartsheet contract management in 2026

What is Smartsheet?

Smartsheet is a versatile work management and automation platform designed to help organizations streamline their processes and enhance productivity. 

It offers a dynamic workspace where teams can collaborate on projects, track progress, and automate workflows. With a user-friendly interface and robust features like customizable templates, Gantt charts, and real-time updates, Smartsheet enables businesses to manage tasks, projects, and resources effectively.

But how does it fare for contract-related tasks?

Can you manage contracts in Smartsheet?

SmartSheet doesn’t offer comprehensive contract management functionality, meaning any contract processes that happen natively in the tool are manual and in many cases, inefficient.

Fortunately, integrating Smartsheet with specialized contract management tools like Juro can enhance its capabilities, enabling you to create and track contracts within Smartsheet.

How to manage contracts in Smartsheet and Juro via Zapier

Integrating Smartsheet with Juro via Zapier allows you to automate various aspects of contract management. Juro is a powerful contract management solution that simplifies the creation, negotiation, and execution of contracts.

By leveraging Zapier, you can create workflows (Zaps) that automatically transfer data between Smartsheet and Juro, ensuring that your contract processes are seamless and efficient.

Here are some Zaps that can be set up for different scenarios:

1. Automatically create a contract in Juro when a new row is added in Smartsheet

Firstly, you can automate the creation of a new contract in Juro whenever a new row is added to a specified Smartsheet workspace. 

Using the data from the new row, a new contract is automatically created in Juro. You can map specific columns in Google Sheets to fields in the Juro contract to ensure all necessary information is included.

2. Automatically create a new spreadsheet row in a Smartsheet workspace when a contract progresses in Juro

You can also add a new row in Smartsheet whenever a contract in Juro progresses to a new stage, capturing all of the key contract datapoints and updates by default. 

This trigger activates when a contract in Juro reaches a specific stage or milestone. A new row is added to your specified workspace in Smartsheet, capturing details of the contract's progress. This ensures Smartsheet always reflects the latest status of contracts managed in Juro.

The benefits of automating contracts in Smartsheet (and Juro)

Automating contract management in Smartsheet and Juro offers several benefits:

• Contracts are created, updated, and progressed automatically, removing the manual handoffs that slow teams down and freeing up time for higher-value work.
• Data flows directly between Smartsheet and Juro, eliminating duplicate data entry and ensuring contract details stay accurate and in sync.
• Stakeholders can track contract progress in real time in Smartsheet, while legal manages the contract itself in Juro—no chasing, no status update meetings.
• Automated workflows and reminders help teams meet approval timelines, signature deadlines, and renewal dates without relying on spreadsheets or memory.
• Smartsheet continues to handle planning and execution, while Juro manages the contract lifecycle end to end—together providing a single, reliable system for managing contracts at scale.

By combining Smartsheet, Juro, and Zapier, teams replace manual contract admin with a streamlined, repeatable process that’s faster, more accurate, and easier to manage as volumes grow.
