Integration with Autotask
Step 1
Send an email to sales@islonline.com with the subject "Please enable Autotask integration". The content should include your ISL Online account username and number of Autotask users.
It may take few days until ISL Online enables the integration on your account. You can follow the next steps of this manual already before, but, will not be able to test the integration until your account is enabled.
Enabling the Autotask integration may be subject to a fee.
Step 2
Please confirm you have specified a domain for your ISL Online account: Log in to your ISL Online account at www.islonline.com. Click "Users". You should see the users of your account listed under your chosen domain name. If no domain has been specified for your account yet, please follow these instructions to create one: https://help.islonline.com/19802/166258
Step 3
Please contact your Autotask account manager to create an API user in your Autotask environment with name "ISL Online", username e.g.islonline@yourcompany.com. This user will be used for appending remote desktop session information into tickets. Please mind that the user name is presented exactly as "ISL Online".
Autotask Licensing: The "ISL Online" user needs to be added in Autotask as an API licensed user. All Autotask accounts include some API users free of charge. Talk to your Autotask account manager for further information.
Make sure the API account is unlocked and credentials are correct by logging into Autotask using the newly created API account. If your API account is locked, contact your Autotask account manager to unlock the API account.
