RMM ↔ CRM synchronization
How to link companies, locations and equipment between RMM and CRM without duplicates.
Preview and matching presets
Section titled “Preview and matching presets”CRM → Sync shows proposed links between RMM and CRM objects. Start with preview, not immediate bulk save. Presets (careful / standard / aggressive) change how loosely names match.
- Open CRM → Sync (/crm/sync).
- Run a matching preview for companies / locations / equipment.
- Start with a careful preset (fewer false links).
- Aggressive mode links more — easier mistakes with similar company names.
- Spot-check a few rows manually before bulk approve.
SAFE auto-link
Section titled “SAFE auto-link”“Apply all safe” writes only pairs the backend treats as unambiguous (high confidence, no name collision). That is a narrower set than manual “Link selected”.
- Set the preset and confidence threshold, then refresh preview.
- Check the SAFE preview section — an empty group means the filter is too tight, not that companies are missing.
- Apply SAFE in batches; link low-confidence pairs manually or fix names in My companies / Clients first.
- Careful + 90% threshold often leaves the list empty — that is intended.
- Backend SAFE rejects show up in the post-save validation note and in the audit filter “SAFE rejected only”.
Linking and unlinking safely
Section titled “Linking and unlinking safely”Approve only correct pairs. Unlink bad matches instead of creating a second client quickly. After unlink, fix data and link again.
- Review proposed links.
- Approve good ones; reject or unlink bad ones.
- On the CRM client card confirm linked devices / locations appear.
- Goal: one CRM client ↔ the right RMM company / devices.
- Clean CRM duplicates first, then sync.
Audit and export
Section titled “Audit and export”Keep sync operations auditable — who linked what. If CSV export exists, use it after a larger migration.
- After importing many companies, spot-check 5–10 clients.
- Renaming companies after sync can break future auto-match — keep names stable.
- When something looks wrong: unlink → fix data → preview again.
