django-connectwise

Django app for working with ConnectWise. Defines models (tickets, members, companies, etc.) and callbacks.

Requirements

• Python 3.5
• Django 2.0

Other versions may work; we haven't tried.

Installation

From PyPI:

pip install django-connectwise

From source:

git clone [e-mail]:KerkhoffTechnologies/django-connectwise.git
cd django-connectwise
python setup.py install

Usage

1. Add to INSTALLED_APPS

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'djconnectwise',
       'easy_thumbnails'  # Used for managing user pictures
       ...
   ]
   

2. Add to settings:

   CONNECTWISE_SERVER_URL = 'https://connectwise.example.com'
   CONNECTWISE_CREDENTIALS = {
       'company_id': 'your company ID',
       'api_public_key': 'your API user public key',
       'api_private_key': 'your API user private key',
   }
   CONNECTWISE_TICKET_PATH = 'v4_6_release/services/system_io/router/openrecord.rails'
   def djconnectwise_configuration():
       return {
           'timeout': 30.0,  # Network timeout in seconds
           'batch_size': 50,  # Number of records to fetch in each request
           'max_attempts': 3,  # Number of times to make a request before failing
           'callback_url': '{}?id='.format(
               reverse('connectwise:callback')
           ),
           'callback_host': '{}://{}'.format(
               'http' if DEBUG else 'https',
               'djconnectwise-host.example.com'
           ),
       }
   DJCONNECTWISE_CONF_CALLABLE = djconnectwise_configuration
   

   The DJCONNECTWISE_CONF_CALLABLE function should return a dictionary with the fields shown above. It's a callable so that it can fetch settings at runtime- for example from Constance settings.

3. Sync objects with this management command: cwsync. This will take a very long time if there are many objects to fetch.

4. Register your callbacks with these management commands:

   1. create_callback ticket
   2. create_callback project
   3. create_callback company
   4. create_callback opportunity

5. Use standard Django model signals to see when objects change.

6. To control how user avatar thumbnails are stored, add settings from easy-thumbnails.

To de-register your callbacks, use the delete_callback management command.
