ConnectWise Manage - Attach Configurations

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it’s possible with escalation chains that send an API call (create a ticket) into ConnectWise Manage that it’ll attached a configuration to the ticket if one exists in the system?

There isn’t anything I can manipulate in ConnectWise unless it’s an email parsing rule so I’m hoping it’s just something I can add into the API call to achieve this :)

    Spent about 6 months trying to do this. It’s not possible. You have to attach the config after the ticket is created. We have a custom Azure function that receives the calls from LM and makes 2 calls to CW. One to open the ticket and one to attach the config.

    Simple scripting as an action in response to an alert would allow this to happen.

    We have accomplished this 90% on our own, but would love to see LM take it the rest of the way.

    • We have a added a custom field in ConnectWise to store the resource name

    "customFields": [ { "id": 11, "value": "##HOSTNAME##" } ]

    • We have a nightly PowerAutomate flow which looks at all tickets sourced by LM, and checks if the custom field value matches a config within the company. It can then be attached with a simple POST call.

    POST URL:

    BODY:
    {
      "id": "{ConfigID}"
    }
