A step-by-step guide to getting started with the Mesh billing Integration
Note that discrepancies may occur between the license counts displayed in Mesh Security and those reported in Reconcile. While Mesh Security displays the latest license count from the last billing cycle (start of the month), Mesh Security pushes snapshot usage data directly into Reconcile. As a result, there may be differences in the reported license counts. If you have any questions or concerns about these discrepancies, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance.
This is an External Integration, for support with the integration, contact Mesh here:

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.
-
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".

Finalize Configuration
