Connectwise PSA Integration
Integrate ConnectWise PSA with ilert to automate alert creation from tickets and streamline alerting workflows.
Integrating ConnectWise PSA with ilert enables automated alert creation in ilert based on ticket updates in ConnectWise. This helps reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) by providing real-time alerting and escalation from your service management tool.
In ilert: create an ConnectWise PSA alert source
In ilert, go to Alert sources → Alert sources and click Create new alert source.
Search for ConnectWise PSA in the search field, click the ConnectWise PSA tile, and then Next.
Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click Next.
Select an escalation policy by creating a new one or assigning an existing one.
Select your Alert grouping preference and click Continue setup. You may click Do not group alerts for now and change it later.
The next page shows additional settings, such as customer alert templates or notification priority. Click Finish setup for now.
On the final page, an API key and/or webhook URL will be generated. You will need it later.
