Automation Apps

The Apps tab in Automation is used to configure FYI and Outlook apps, Apps, along with third-party apps integrated with FYI. 

It is also used to configure and connect to the applications integrated with the FYI processes, such as Xero Practice Ledger, OneDrive, BGL CAS 360, NowInfinity, and document signature Apps such as DocuSign, and Adobe Sign. For example, with the OneDrive application, you select which OneDrive to use as your default for FYI,

• If you are an FYI Admin, or a user in a User Group that has Permissions enabled for Automations, you will be able to add, change and delete Automation Processes and Apps and you will see the Process History tab. Refer to Managing User Groups.
  
  
• If the User Group you belong to does not have permissions enabled for Automations, you will only see the Processes and Apps tabs and the Edit tool displays as unavailable.
  
  

Note: Certain Apps will only be available depending on your FYI plan.

Configuring and connecting to each application is a one-time-only action that needs to be done as part of the setup of the processes.
