Sync contacts
Simplesat can automatically sync contacts over from Autotask to Simplesat.
The first time this integration gets activated it'll sync over all users, afterwards this integration will run once per day and sync over the users that have been updated in the 24 hours prior to that.
The contacts synced to Simplesat will have the following data synced over:
Object | Field | Value |
Account | Account active Status | True/False |
Account | Account Type | String |
Account | Classification | String |
Contact | Contact Active Status | True/False |
Contact | Primary Contact | True/False |
Contact | Survey Opt Out Status | True/False |

Responder (Assignee) | ID, Name, Email |
All information gathered through the API will override fields sent through URL parameters.
