Once you’ve set up your Cloudmore broker account and exported the Datto Autotask companies to Cloudmore organizations, you can add the Datto Autotask service from our E-store that will automatically enable the integration.
Prerequisites:
1. Before you proceed with the integration, ensure that you’ve disabled any other third-party integration settings you’d previously enabled for billing sync.
2. Contact Cloudmore Customer Success or the Support team and request for an API Integration Code. Follow the steps below once you receive the code.
Steps
- Add a user defined field in Autotask
- Add the Datto-Autotask Service in Cloudmore
- View the Billing Information in Autotask
Add a user defined field in Autotask
You need to first add a user defined field to the contract, so that Cloudmore can store the CSP or Azure Subscription identifier to the contract which will enable the broker to match a subscription in Cloudmore to a contract in Autotask.
1. Log into your Autotask portal.
2. Click Menu > Admin > Features & Settings > Application-wide (Shared) Features > User-Defined Fields > Contracts (TAB)
3. In the Name field, type "Subscription ID".

5. Click Save & Close.
