  • Enter your company name that is registered with ConnectWise.

  • In the MemberID field, enter the username that allows you to login to your ConnectWise account.

 

NOTE: The Member ID is the username you use to login to your ConnectWise account. Each user of your company can have their own unique Member ID, but the same integrator login details.

  • In the Site URL field, enter your ConnectWise login URL (please do not include http:// in the URL

 

Contact Filter: 

  • After entering your data, you can choose a filter to allow or deny contacts from "pulling" into your AMP account from your CRM.

  • We recommend choosing Company Type, and filtering by values such as Prospect, Customer, Suspect

  • You can also choose "All Contacts" which will allow all contact types to come into AMP.
  • You can choose a different field to filter by, please contact your consultant to check which other options are supported if you wish to use a field outside of Company Type. 

 

 

Recommended: Company Type for Contact Filter - Values: Customer, Prospect, Suspect

  • In your ConnectWise company profile, the dropdown ‘type’, displays static contact company types (competition, customer, not-a-fit, owner, partner, prospect, suspect, unknown, and vendor).

  • These options define company type of the contact.

NOTE: You can add custom contact company type in your ConnectWise account.

  • To add a custom contact company type, click ‘Setup Tables'

 

  • Enter ‘Company Type’ in the ‘Table’ field, and click ‘Search’.

 

  • Select ‘Company Type’.

  • Click the ‘Add New Item’ icon.

  • Enter the contact company type in the ‘Description’ field. For e.g. Newly Acquired.

  • Click the ‘Save’ icon.

 

  • The added contact company type will be updated successfully.

  • You can view the added contact company type in the ‘type’ field of a company.

  • To import specific contact company type, separate each contact company type by comma in the ‘Contacts Company Type’ field.

  • For e.g. if you wish to import ConnectWise contacts with company types as customer, prospect, and owner then insert a comma between each option in this field.

  • Click ‘Save’.

 

  • If you wish to change the selected sync time interval, you can pick desired ‘sync time’ interval from the dropdown.

  • Click ‘Update’.

-AMP is now integrated with your ConnectWise account.

Mapping ConnectWise contact fields with AMP contact fields

  • Click ‘Map Fields’.

  • Click the ‘contact’ tab, and map ConnectWise contact fields with AMP contact fields.

  • You may create custom fields to accommodate required ConnectWise contact fields in AMP.

  • Click ‘save’ to save mapped contact fields.

NOTE: ConnectWise custom contact fields cannot be mapped to AMP contact fields.

 

NOTE: You can map ConnectWise company fields:  Company_Market, Company_Employees, Company_Territory, Company_Type, Company_FaxNumber, Company_PhoneNumber, Company_Status and Company_WebSite.

Make sure you are mapping relevant fields only. If not, the data won’t be saved to CRM account and vice versa. If fields are not mapped, the system will consider the default setting to push data.
