Link ConnectWise companies to Super IT teams for proper ticket routing

After connecting ConnectWise to Super IT, you need to link specific companies to your support teams. This ensures tickets from each ConnectWise company are automatically routed to the correct Super IT team.

Prerequisites

  • ConnectWise connection configured and syncing
  • Companies synced from ConnectWise
  • Super IT managed teams created

How Routing Works

  1. Ticket Created: New ticket appears in ConnectWise for Company A
  2. Super IT Checks: Looks up which team is linked to Company A
  3. Auto-Route: Ticket appears in the linked team's Super IT interface
  4. AI Access: Sparky can assist the assigned team with the ticket

Benefits of Proper Linking

  • Automatic routing eliminates manual ticket assignment
  • Team specialization allows dedicated support for specific clients
  • AI context provides better assistance with client-specific knowledge
  • Organized workflows keep teams focused on their assigned clients
