Prerequisites: 

Before you begin to configure your x360Cloud accounts, you must first successfully configured the API member and service default settings in ConnectWise. 

Overview

This article will explain how to configure the PSA settings in x360Cloud to integrate with the ConnectWise Professional Services Automation (PSA) platform, after you have first successfully configured the API member and service default settings in ConnectWise.  

  • A ticket will automatically be created in ConnectWise if an organization does not successfully generate a backup within a 24 hour period. 
  • Currently, tickets from all organizations are created under a single company in ConnectWise (currently Axcient x360Cloud). The company will be created automatically. In future releases, you will have the ability to map organizations for improved management.
  • All tickets pushed to ConnectWise will be associated with the default Service Board and will share the same default Status and Team, as configured in the steps below.

STEP 1: Navigate to the Settings tab in x360Cloud's Reseller Portal

In the Reseller Portal, click the Settings tab and then click the PSA tab. 

 STEP 2: Select a PSA System

In the PSA tab, click the Configure a new PSA System radio button.

In the PSA drop-down menu, select ConnectWise.

After you configure PSA settings, you can turn on ticketing in x360Cloud.
