Guides
Enabling Integrations
- Navigate to Hudu admin area >> Integrations.
- Select Liongard from the list.
If you're running on a Hudu version before 2.1.5.15, you'll need to select create integration.
Obtaining the Liongard Information
- Navigate to your Liongard instance >> click your name >> Account Settings.
- From here, you can obtain both of the required keys (access key ID and access key secret).
- Click Access Tokens on the left-hand menu. Click Generate New Token >> select Liongard API token from the list.
- Optionally select an expiration for the token and click Generate.
- Copy the Access Key ID and Access Key secret and paste them into Hudu exactly, in the Liongard integration setup settings.
- To obtain your Liongard domain URL; navigate to the My Liongard Instance tab >> URL.
- This should be in the format: xxx.app.liongard.com
- Copy this exactly into Hudu.
- Save the settings.
Make sure to test the integration for a successful connection before continuing; do not continue on until you see a connection successful message display.
- Start the sync. After inputting all settings and ensuring the connection was successful; start the sync to push initial data to Hudu from Liongard (this is required before moving on).
Matching Companies
Hudu recommends matching one company first, for testing purposes, to ensure that your information comes over correctly.
- The first time your integration connection runs successfully, it will attempt to bring in companies from Liongard; these are then added to the Matched Companies List of that integration.
- Navigate to the Hudu admin area >> Integrations >> and find Liongard from the list. Click on it.
- It should now have a button that says Match Companies.
- Go through the list of companies and either bulk create/match all OR decide to:
- Match the company to an existing (already created) client in Hudu;
- Create a matched client within Hudu from a Liongard company;
- Leave unmatched, company (and corresponding data) will not be created/brought into Hudu.
- Once you have matched your companies, you must re-run the integration import to fill in all the data for the newly matched/created companies.
Sort Rules
- Save your settings and stop/start your integration sync again to reflect your changes.
FAQ
