• In the Company drop-down field, select the appropriate company that will be associated with this agreement.
• In the Start Date field, enter a date on which the agreement starts.

Step 4: Enter ConnectWise Integrator Credentials in vBoxxCloud

Before you can map vBoxxCloud organizations to ConnectWise customers, you must first enter your integrator account credentials at the top-level organization in vBoxxCloud. You can optionally configure lower-level organization to inherit the settings. 

1. In the Organization navigation menu, select the top-level organization. 

2. Click Settings tab, and then click on PSA.

3. In the PSA Mode field, select Configure a New PSA System radio button. The page will expands allowing you to select the appropriate PSA system. 

4. In the PSA System drop-down menu, select ConnectWise.

  Note: In some cases you may need to write the URL in capital letters.
   
• In the Company ID field, enter your Company ID as it appears in ConnectWise
• In the Integrator Login field, enter the username you configured when setting up the integrator account.
• In the Integrator Password field, enter the password you configured when setting up the integrator account.

• Click Save button when you are finished.

Step 5: Configure Billing in vBoxxCloud

The page will expand to allow you to write information into the ConnectWise Billing Settings section. You only need to fill out this section if you are configuring billing options.

Note: that this information will only need to be configured once at the top-level organization, and you can then optionally inherit these settings within lower-level organizations.

1. In the Company drop-down field, select the name of the company as it exists in ConnectWise. If you do not see the name of the company, click the Reload Options from PSA button to refresh the connection to ConnectWise.
2. Select the Billing Enabled checkbox to indicate that you will be configuring billing.
3. In the # of Accounts field, enter the Product ID associated with your account product exactly how it appears in ConnectWise.
4. In the Total Storage field, enter the Product ID associated with your storage product exactly how it appears in ConnectWise.
5. In the File Server Enablement field, enter the Product ID associated with your File Server Enablement product exactly how it appears in ConnectWise.
6. In the Push Date field, select the day of the month that billing information will be pushed to ConnectWise.
   
   
    
   
   
   
7. Click Save button when you are finished.

Step 6: Map vBoxxCloud Organizations to ConnectWise Customers

After these settings are configured at the top-level organization, you must then map each vBoxxCloud organization to the matching ConnectWise customer.

 

1. Navigate to an organization that will integrate with ConnectWise.

2. Click on Settings, and then click on PSA. The PSA Settings sections displays.

3. In the Company drop-down menu, select the organization's associated company name in ConnectWise.

4. Optionally, configure billing settings:

 

• In the ConnectWise Billing Settings section, select the checkbox next to the appropriate products configured in ConnectWise. You must select at least one product. If a product is not selected, it will not be billed through ConnectWise.
• In the Choose Agreement drop-down field, select the appropriate agreement configured in ConnectWise. If an agreement is not selected, ConnectWise will not be able to complete the billing process. 
• Click the Save button

 

 

After everything is correctly mapped, you will be able to send billing information from vBoxxCloud into ConnectWise.

 

Step 7: Set Up Alerts in vBoxxCloud

When the organization is linked with a ConnectWise customer, you can set up alerts that will display in the ConnectWise system. 

1. While still in the organization, click the Activity tab.

2. In the Activity Log page, click the Create Alert button. 

3. In the Alerts page, configure alerts, making sure to click the PSA System checkbox. 

You will now view alerts in ConnectWise for the appropriate customer.
