Map Phin Companies to ConnectWise

Once the ConnnectWise Manage Billing Integration is connected, you will see a list of all companies in Phin and their billable users for the defined billing period. Map these companies using the available ConnectWise fields (below).

  • ConnectWise Company
  • ConnectWise Agreement
  • ConnectWise Addition

When a selection is made, the mapping is saved automatically. 

If you do not have a Phin Security product made already, you will need to create this in ConnectWise. This may affect the Addition that you select.

Push Phin Data to ConnectWise

Pushing to ConnectWise is done manually and can be done anytime during the month. When you select "Push to ConnectWise," the Billable Users from the defined Billing Period will be sent to ConnectWise for the corresponding Company, Agreement, and Addition. 

After the syncing is complete, there will be an updated Sync Status per Phin Company record. The green check indicates a successful sync, and the red X indicates an unsuccessful sync. If a second attempt does not work, unsuccessful syncs might need to be resolved within your ConnectWise Manage account.
