FAQ
Answer: Native integrations will automatically re-sync (update) every 3 hours.
You can also use either the global or the card-specific re-sync features to refresh native integration syncs at any point.
Answer: If the Kaseya sync has been loading for a significant amount of time (it can take up to 10 minutes), follow the steps below:
-
- Test the connection to ensure Hudu and Kaseya are communicating correctly
- Verify your Kaseya credentials
- The user credentials used must have API employee access in BMS
- Refresh the page (while a sync is actively running)
- Stop the sync and restart the sync
Answer: It should appear on subsequent re-syncs. If it is still not appearing, ensure that it has not been archived; and still exists in your sort rules.
Notes: Active integrations sync automatically every 3 hours; manual re-syncs can be performed either within an integrations’ settings page or by clicking the top right re-sync button.
