Domotz network monitoring software includes ConnectWise PSA Integration so MSPs can monitor and manage devices in Domotz, discover issues and immediately send them to ConnectWise PSA so you can track them.
MSPs can monitor and manage network infrastructure, connected devices and IoT systems directly through ConnectWise PSA.

How to set up the Domotz ConnectWise PSA Integration
You can connect your ConnectWise PSA Account into Domotz. ConnectWise PSA will become one of the Contact Channels available when creating a Shared Alert. This means that you can create or update a ConnectWise ticket when a specific event occurs in Domotz.
Note: Before adding the ConnectWise PSA integration in Domotz you need to set up your ConnectWise account properly.
Configuring ConnectWise PSA security roles and API members
Security roles and API members are used for connecting Domotz to your ConnectWise PSA account. This must be performed by a ConnectWise PSA administrator with permissions to manage security roles and members. If you can’t please ask your manager.
Add security roles
Log into the ConnectWise PSA dashboard and from the navigation menu, click System, then Security Roles.
Click on “Add button” and insert “Domotz API” for role ID, then click “Save”.
Expand the below roles groups and enable the following roles:
- Companies -> Company Maintenance (Inquire Level = All)
- Service Desk -> Close Service Tickets (Edit Level = All, Inquire Level = All)
- Service Desk -> Service Tickets (Add Level = All, Edit Level = All, Inquire Level = All)
- Finance -> Agreements (Inquire Level = All)
- System -> Table Setup (Inquire Level = All)
- Companies -> Configurations (Inquire Level = All) – This is only required if you are planning to leverage the functionality that allows Domotz to link ConnectWise Configurations to Tickets when created.
Note: In ConnectWise 2020.4 it has been introduced an update that puts information from Setup Tables behind another security role. Users using ConnectWise 2020.4 (or above) are also required to allow the following access:
System > Table Setup (Inquire Level = All)
Then click on “Save“.
The levels needed are shown in the following picture.
