Push notifications to Appsheet app from another source

[ehnz]

Hello, we are collecting data into Smartsheet via webforms - we want to notify our Appsheet users when new information is entered into smartsheet.  Is there a way to do this using Appsheet api?

No.

However, that shouldn't be necessary. Instead, Send a notification from an automation - AppSheet Help.

Thanks, the trouble is that the data is not coming into the app/table via appsheet so there is nothing to trigger the notification.

As the data is coming in from an outside source - is there a way to connect to appsheet via api?

Yes. There's not an API action that directly sends a notification, but you can use the API to create a data change action that in turn triggers an automation that sends a notification. Be sure to reference AppSheet Help when you have a question. In this case, see Manage apps using the AppSheet API - AppSheet Help.
