TeamSupport has native integration with 37 Signal's Highrise CRM system so that company and contact information can by synced from Highrise to TeamSupport, and ticket information can be sent back to Highrise. Setup: Setting up the integration is very straightforward and only requires a couple of steps: 1. Log into your Highrise account and navigate to "My Info" in the upper right hand corner. 2. Click the "Reveal Authentication Token" link, then copy and paste the token which is displayed. Note: The authentication token is unique to each user in Highrise. When the integration service adds a note with ticket information back to Highrise, it will tag that note with the name of the user whose authentication token is used. We suggest that you create a "TeamSupport" user in Highrise then use that user's authentication token in TeamSupport. 3. Log into TeamSupport and navigate to the Admin section (note that you must have administrator privileges), then select My Company at the top, and "Edit CRM Properties" at the right. You should see a screen like the one below: 4. In the "CRM System" pulldown menu select "Highrise". 5. In the "Authentication Token" section paste the Highrise authentication token from step 2, then paste it again into the "Confirm Authentication Token" text box. 6. When you log into Highrise, you have a company name which comes before the "highrisehq.com" URL. This company name is what you should enter into the "Highrise Company Name" box. For example, if your Highrise login is "http://bitsandbytes.highrisehq.com" then you should enter "bitsandbytes" (without the quote marks) into this field. Please make sure there are NO SPACES in this field! 7. The "Tag which identifies customer" field allows you to select the text you will use in Highrise to mark which companies are customers. Generally people use "Customer", but you can change this to whatever you want. Please note that capitalization does matter here, so "customer" is not the same as "Customer". 8. Check the "CRM Active" button. The Integration in Action Once you've followed the steps above, your integration should be active. Now you can go into Highrise and tag a company with the name you entered in step 7 above. It will take a few minutes, but that customer - and all of their contact information, including people associated with that company - should come across to TeamSupport and be visible in the Company section. When you create a new ticket and associate it with a linked company, a note will appear in the Highrise account with a link to the ticket in TeamSupport.
