Addigy can be integrated with Autotask ticketing. When the integration is fully configured, a monitored event will create an alert when a threshold is met/exceeded.
For instructions on how to enable the Autotask integration, see our article How To Enable the AutoTask Integration.
There are a few important details to understand:
- Communication between the systems is FROM Addigy TO Autotask. Autotask does not send information to Addigy.
- In order for a ticket to be created, the Create Support Ticket option must be enabled on the Monitoring item. If this option is left unchecked, an Autotask ticket will not be created.
- If remediation is enabled, and if remediation resolves the issue, the alert and the associated ticket will be closed.
- If the alert is closed manually in Addigy, the associated ticket will be closed in Autotask.
- If the ticket is manually closed within Autotask, the alert within Addigy will remain open. Addigy recommends closing the alert within Addigy first, which will then close the associated ticket.

- Tickets created by the device will be created within the Autotask Platform and linked with the Configuration Item for that device.
- If a ticket for a monitoring item is closed, and you receive exactly the same ticket/alert (Same alert name, alert fact, alert value, and device), the closed ticket will be reopened.
- If you close the ticket in AutoTask, it will not close the alarm in Addigy.
- If you close the ticket in AutoTask, it will show as a closed ticket within Addigy.
- Please review the "Duplicate Ticket Handling" settings on your Autotask Platform.
- If you have option 2 checked, all tickets from the same device received within the specified time will be treated as duplicates.
- If you want that tickets received for the same alert (i.e: alert name, alert fact, alert level, alert value, and device) are considered duplicates, we recommend checking setting 1
