One of the benefits of Strety for EOS or 1x1 Management, is that it doesn't feel like another tool you have to log into. Especially for To Dos that come out of Meetings, Rocks, Issues, and Headlines. This is because we have the ability to link a To Do to Connectwise Tickets, Projects, & Activities.
And even better, when a Connectwise Ticket or Activity is in a resolved status, Strety will mark that To Do as closed automatically! (Note, we sync every 30 minutes unless you manually sync from the To Do). See a video for how this works!
Notes on the Integration
Once you link a To Do to Strety, you cannot mark it as closed or not closed in Strety. You have to manage the status of the To Do from the ticket itself.
Strety only links with Service Tickets, Projects, & Activities
We do link with ON PREMISE databases. Just have to hardcode your on premise host URL where the first dropdown is below.
Company is your company_id (try logging out of CW and seeing what you use to log into Connectwise).
