Notes on the Import from NowInfinity
- NowInfinity documents are synced to FYI every day at 4 am.
If a document was received in NowInfinity today, you will see it in FYI tomorrow as the automation pulls documents from NowInfinity to FYI overnight. You can see the date and time of the Last Sync with NowInfinity from the NowInfinity app in Automation - Apps. Refer to Connecting your NowInfinity account to FYI. - The FYI automation matches on ACN and will only import documents where the ACN in NowInfinity matches the ACN in your practice management software. For practices integrated with Xero Practice Manager, the automation will only trigger documents to be imported if the client record in Xero Practice Manager contains the ACN, and the ACN is a direct match to what is held in NowInfinity.
- NowInfinity gives you the ability to create companies, but you will only see documents if you have added the client to your ASIC agent number via the form 362. Once the client has been added to your ASIC agent number, the FYI automation will then check NowInfinity for the incorporation documents and add a link to the client in FYI if it is able to match on the ACN.
