  1. Map Accounts and Services

    • When setting up the integration for the first time, accounts are automatically matched if there's an exact match between your vendor and PSA.
    • For accounts not automatically matched:
      • Use the filter button beside the account names on the right, or
      • Use the search bar on the left to find PSA accounts.
    • Drag and drop the PSA accounts from the left to match them with vendor accounts on the right.
  2. Proceed to Service Mapping

    • Once accounts are mapped, click "Next" to access the Service Mapping step.
    • Align services or products from your PSA, displayed on the left, with the corresponding vendor services or SKUs on the right. For ConnectWise PSA users, search by Product ID.
    • Ensure at least one account and one service mapping is completed to finish the configuration.
    • After mapping the services, click "Next".
  3. Finalize Configuration

  • Review your service configurations and click "Finish" to complete the setup.
  • This will initiate a sync. The "Sync Status" indicator at the top-right will start spinning, showing that a sync is in progress.
  • Once the sync is complete, the "Refresh" button will light up pink, indicating the sync is complete. Click that button to see the vendor usage data populated.
  • Use the filter or sort options to jump to the connected services and start reviewing and approving usage!

Note: While multiple options may appear, most MSPs typically use only one service count type.

  • Per Device: Pulls the count of devices associated with a client.
  • Per Agent: Pulls the total count of agents associated with all devices for a client.
  • Offsite Storage: Pulls the total offsite storage for a client, measured in MB.
