  1. Syncro Integration Overview
    The Syncro integration is designed to create a sync of key Company information to allow you to run reports on important metrics in your MSP.
    Here are the areas that we sync.

    1. Companies: You can map companies between SO and Syncro and sync from Syncro into SO

    2. Company Status: You can map company status between SO and Syncro and changes in Syncro will update SO (active/inactive flag in Syncro equals to Active/Inactive status in SO).

    3. Configurations Status: Syncs from Syncro

    4. Configurations: Syncs from Syncro

    5. Contacts/Managed users: Syncs from Syncro

    6. Tickets: Coming soon

    7. Projects: Coming soon

    8. Agreements: Coming soon

    9. Opportunities: Coming soon

      ​

    3. Expiration: leave blank

    4. Permissions:

      You can always add a new API Key to reenable the integration)

    7. Done: press
      ​
      ​

  3. Enable Integration in Strategy Overview

    3. API Token (Key): This is the key from the API member you just created

    4. Add Integration
      ​
      ​

  4. Company Types

    1. Enable bi-directional Company Types sync:

      1. Check for full sync - all list of Types will be always updates:
        ​Map Companies: Map company types strategically. Syncro will overwrite anything you mapped. For example. If in Strategy Overview you call clients "Client" and in Syncro you call them "Customer", when you map Customer to Client it will update Strategy Overview to "Customer" when you save the mapping

        Create UnMapped button: Click (This will create all Syncro Company Types in Strategy Overview and automap.)

        Save

      2. Or skip the step - to sync only Types which will come with mapped companies.
        ​
        ​

  5. Companies
    Its best practice to import only Managed clients that are in active Strategic Planning. You do not want to clutter SO with all potential leads, vendors, etc.

    1. Import Companies (button on the right part of the table): Click

    2. Types: Please select the type used for your Managed Clients. Strategy Overview accounts can have unlimited users but are limited by number of Managed Clients in the system used for Strategic planning. This allows us to provide fair pricing for any MSP at any size.

    3. Company Statuses: Usually you only want to import Companies that are Active

    4. Integration Status: All

    5. Load Companies: Click Load Companies and select Companies you want to Import into the system to use for strategic planning. If you already had companies in Strategy Overview and they had the exact same company name, it will automatically map. If you did not, you need to press "Create unmapped" to create them in SO.

    6. Save Mapping
      ​
      ​
