Service ticket synchronization

Note

  • Make sure the API user has a Security Level that allows the creation of webhooks to successfully set up ticket synchronization. See Turn on webhooks.
  • Make sure that the MSP staff members who work on tickets in PSA update their web browsers to accept pop-ups from Sophos. This allows deep-links to open the Device Details page of the affected endpoint or server in Sophos Fusion.

You can create service tickets in Autotask from Sophos Fusion alerts or cases.

You must set up a rule to control which alerts create tickets. See Configure PSA alert rules.

You can turn on service ticket synchronization and choose which customers you want to use it for.
