Overview


Integration with ConnectWise provides IT business managers with an effective issue resolution system.


CloudMonix integrates with ConnectWise by publishing and resolving service desk tickets when notifications are raised by its monitoring and automation system. The integration allows for a fine-grained control of what information is sent to ConnectWise. If CloudMonix detects that alert condition is no longer active, it can automatically close the associated event.



Three general steps to integrate CloudMonix with ConnectWise

  1. Get an API key from ConnectWise 
  2. Setup a new Integration definition in CloudMonix to ConnectWise
  3. Tell CloudMonix which notifications should be sent to ConnectWise
