You can create or link PSA opportunities directly from an initiative. This keeps your PSA opportunities and initiatives connected, ensuring both systems stay up to date with less manual effort.

This article will guide you through the steps of creating and linking PSA opportunities to initiatives in Lifecycle Manager.

What you'll need:

  • An active integration with one of the following PSA tools:
    • ConnectWise Manage
    • Autotask
    • Halo PSA
    • If you already use ConnectWise Manage or Halo PSA, you may need to update your API permissions. Refer to the integration articles above for details.
 
Note: Opportunities can take 24-48 hours to sync and will display a Pending status until completed. If your Opportunities have not updated after 48 hours, reach out to our support team.
