Autotask Integration

This integration syncs Autotask PSA data into Resplendent Data through the Autotask REST API.

It is a read-only, poll-based integration: Resplendent queries Autotask on a schedule and does not register or rely on webhooks.

What you can sync:

• Customer context: Companies, Contacts, Resources, ConfigurationItems
• Service desk: Tickets, ServiceCalls, ServiceCallTasks, ServiceCallTaskResources, ServiceCallTickets, ServiceCallTicketResources, Time Entries
• Projects: Projects and Tasks
• Contracts and billing: Contracts, ContractMilestones, ContractRates, ContractServiceBundles, ContractServices, ContractServiceUnits, Services, Products, Invoices

Supported datasets in the current integration:

• Companies
• Contacts
• ContractMilestones
• ContractRates
• ContractServiceBundles
• ContractServices
• ContractServiceUnits
• Contracts
• ConfigurationItems
• Invoices
• Products
• Projects
• Resources
• ServiceCalls
• ServiceCallTasks
• ServiceCallTaskResources
• ServiceCallTickets
• ServiceCallTicketResources
• Services
• Tasks
• Tickets
• Time Entries

Common join patterns

• Contract service quantity: Join ContractServices.id = ContractServiceUnits.contractServiceID. This is the clearest way to bring unit counts into reporting.
• Contract service details: ContractServices already hydrates serviceName and servicePeriodType. ContractServiceUnits also hydrates unitPrice, serviceName, and servicePeriodType, so you often do not need an extra join to Services just to label unit rows.
• Service call assigned resources: ServiceCallTaskResources is the cleanest assignment table. The integration hydrates serviceCallID, taskID, and resourceUserName onto it, so you can usually join it directly to ServiceCalls.id on serviceCallID.
• Service call ticket assignments: ServiceCallTicketResources hydrates serviceCallID, ticketID, and resourceUserName, so it can usually join directly to ServiceCalls.id or Tickets.id. If you need the explicit bridge path, use ServiceCalls.id = ServiceCallTickets.serviceCallID and ServiceCallTickets.id = ServiceCallTicketResources.serviceCallTicketID.
• Time against contract work: Join Time Entries.contractServiceID = ContractServices.id, Time Entries.contractServiceBundleID = ContractServiceBundles.id, or Time Entries.contractID = Contracts.id depending on whether you want service-, bundle-, or contract-level reporting.
• Project execution: Join Projects.id = Tasks.projectID, then Tasks.id = Time Entries.taskID to compare planned work to logged work.
• Customer billing: Join Invoices.companyID = Companies.id for invoice totals by customer, or Contracts.companyID = Companies.id for agreement reporting.
• Configuration items under agreements: Join ConfigurationItems.companyID = Companies.id for customer inventory and ConfigurationItems.contractID = Contracts.id for agreement-linked assets.

Hydrated helper columns

• Contracts adds companyName and billToCompanyName.
• Tickets adds companyName plus several *UserName helper columns such as assignedResourceUserName.
• Time Entries adds resourceUserName, creatorUserName, lastModifiedUserName, and other resource-name helpers.
• ContractServices adds serviceName and servicePeriodType.
• ContractServiceUnits adds unitPrice, serviceName, and servicePeriodType.
• ServiceCallTasks adds assignedResourceID, taskNumber, title, and assignedResourceUserName.
• ServiceCallTaskResources adds serviceCallID, taskID, and resourceUserName.
• ServiceCallTickets adds assignedResourceID, ticketNumber, title, and assignedResourceUserName.
• ServiceCallTicketResources adds serviceCallID, ticketID, and resourceUserName.
• Invoices adds companyName, creatorResourceUserName, and voidedByResourceUserName.

Picklists and join keys

• The integration resolves Autotask picklist values to labels during sync by calling Autotask’s /entityInformation/fields endpoint.
• Because of that, many reporting dimensions are already readable labels rather than foreign keys. Examples include status, priority, queueID, ticketType, and serviceLevelAgreementID.
• Some of those fields still end in ID, but the synced value is already the label. Do not use those as join keys.
• Use raw relationship fields such as companyID, contractID, projectID, taskID, ticketID, serviceCallID, resourceID, and contractServiceID for joins.
• ContractServiceUnits is time-sliced. A single contractServiceID can have multiple rows across billing periods, so include startDate / endDate when charting unit changes over time.

Part 1: Create a custom security level

Create a read-only security level for the API user. The integration only queries Autotask; it does not write back.

1. Navigate to Security Levels

• In Autotask, hover over the Admin icon
• Click Account Settings & Users
• Expand Resources/Users (HR)
• Click Security Levels

2. Copy an existing level

• Find API User (system) (API-only)
• Right-click and select Copy

3. Configure general settings

• Name: Resplendent Data API User
• Active: Checked

4. Grant query permissions

For this integration, the important requirement is API query access to the entities you want to sync.

• In Web Services API, enable View (Query) for each dataset you plan to sync.
• If you want the full integration, enable query access for all of the datasets listed earlier on this page.
• Make sure the security level can also see the same records in the corresponding Autotask modules. If a dataset preview fails in Resplendent with a permissions warning, that entity type is still missing access.
• If you want ConfigurationItems, make sure the API user can query and view configuration items in Autotask.
• Webhooks are not required for this integration.

5. Save

Click Save & Close.

Part 2: Create the API user

Now create the user account that uses the security level you just made.

1. Navigate to Resources

• Go to Admin > Resources/Users (HR) > Resources/Users
• Hover over the arrow next to New and select New API User

2. Fill in details

• First Name: Resplendent
• Last Name: Data
• Security Level: Select Resplendent Data API User

3. Generate credentials

• Username (Key): Click Generate Key. Save this immediately.
• Password (Secret): Click Generate Secret. Save this immediately.

4. Select integration vendor

• If the API Tracking Identifier section is present, select Resplendent Data as the Integration Vendor.

5. Save

Click Save & Close.

Part 3: Connect to Resplendent Data

1. Find your zone number

Look at your Autotask URL. If it’s https://ww2.autotask.net, your zone number is 2.

2. Add the connection

• Log in to Resplendent Data
• Click Integrations in the sidebar
• Find Autotask and click + Connect
• Fill in:
  • API Username: The Key from Part 2
  • API Password: The Secret from Part 2
  • Zone Number: From your URL
  • Connection Title: Something like “Autotask Production”

3. Finalize

• Click Save & Test
• Once verified, click Sync Dataset to start pulling data

Sync behavior

• The integration is poll-based. It does not use Autotask webhooks or callback pushes.
• Autotask limits responses to 500 rows per request, so large initial syncs and backfills are automatically paged.
• Incremental refresh is currently supported for Companies, Contacts, ContractMilestones, Contracts, Products, Projects, ServiceCalls, Services, Tasks, Tickets, Time Entries, ConfigurationItems, and Invoices.
• ContractRates, ContractServiceBundles, ContractServices, ContractServiceUnits, Resources, ServiceCallTasks, ServiceCallTaskResources, ServiceCallTickets, and ServiceCallTicketResources are currently treated as non-incremental tables.
• Ticket deletions are tracked through Autotask DeletedTicketLogs, so deleted tickets can be removed on refresh. Other datasets do not currently emit explicit delete events through this integration.
