Automation Apps

The Apps tab in Automation is used to configure and connect to the applications integrated with the FYI processes. For example, with the OneDrive application, you select which OneDrive to use as your default for FYI, and with the Xero Practice Manager, you use this to connect with your XPM credentials.

• If the User Group you belong to has been given access to Administer Automations, you will be able to add, change and delete Automation Processes and Apps and you will see the Process History tab. Refer to Managing User Groups.
• If you do not have access to Administer Automations, you will only see the Processes and Apps tabs and the Edit tool displays as unavailable.
  

Note: Certain Apps (such as BGL, NowInfinity, DocuSign, Adobe Sign, Zapier) are only available if your FYI subscription level is "Professional".

Configuring and connecting to each application is a one-time only action that needs to be done as part of the setup of the processes.

1. From FYI, click the Automation menu option.
2. Go to the Apps tab.
   
   
   
   
3. For the relevant App, click the cog icon to edit it.
4. Complete the information as relevant for the application. This is usually a User Name and Password that you use to connect to the App.
5. Click Connect.
