Here you need to set the Default Site ID to create a Quote or a Job. A Site and a Customer are mandatory fields for creating a Quote or Job. In the event the Customer does not have a Site, the Default Site configured will be linked to the Quote/Job instead
You will need to create a default site in Simpro, retrieve the Site ID and then add the ID in this field. You can also choose another Site if you wish, simply add that Site’s ID in this field.
___________.simprosuite.com (Simpro Domain Prefix)
This is used to connect your Zoho Desk account with your Simpro build URL.
For example, www.syncezy.simprosuite.com. In this example, we choose “syncezy” as the value to enter.
Syncezy._____________.com (Simpro Domain)
Multi Company [Yes/No]
This field is used to enable Multi Company syncing. Only “Yes” or “No” are acceptable values. Yes if you want to configure Simpro Multi Company, No if you don’t or if you have a single company.
Simpro Companies (ID - Names) exp [2 - Sydney, 3 - Melbourne]
If you don’t have a multi-company setup, enter 0 - company name here. If you wish to link only one company, you will need to enter the company ID - company name (eg. 4 - SyncEzy).
If you have multi-company in Simpro, enter in this format: company ID - company name (eg. 6 - SyncEzy). For more companies, add the same with a comma separator (eg. 6 - SyncEzy, 7 - Zoho,..., etc).
Simpro Company IDs can be found by going to Simpro > Setup > Company
Note: Avoid using commas and dashes in the company name as these are specifically used as delimiters.
Simpro API Key - Simpro->Setup->API->Application [xxxxyyyy123xxxyyy]
This helps us to communicate with Simpro. Navigate Simpro->Setup->API->Application > Create Application. Enter the following values:
Company: <Your company name>
Name: Zoho Desk Authentication
Redirect URI: https://desk.zoho.com / https://desk.zoho.com.au / https://desk.zoho.eu (depending on your Desk domain)

You have to copy the API Key and paste it into this field in the configuration. You can also write to support@syncezy.com if you need help with this.
Default Customer Type [Companies/Individuals]:
In this option, you have to set the value as Companies or Individuals. This defines the customer type to be created from the extension, Company Customer or Individual Customer.
Default Project Type [Service/Project]:
In this option, you have to set the value as Service or Project. This defines the Quote/Job type to be created from the extension, a Service Quote/Job or Project Quote/Job.
Default Customer Id
This setting is only used if the Create_Customer_Check value is "No". Any newly created Quote/Job will be linked with this default Customer and the default Site.
Create Customer in Simpro if email not found [Yes/No]
This setting is used to create a customer if not found in Simpro.
Update Simpro Status from Desk [Yes/No]
To enable the syncing of statuses between Zoho Desk and Simpro, select “Yes” as the option. Note: This will only work if the Desk status and Simpro status are worded exactly the same. It is not possible to associate different Desk statuses and Simpro statuses. For example – if you want to update the stage to “Quote: Converted to Job” in Simpro, your ticket should also have the status “Quote: Converted to Job”. There will be an “Update Status” button in the extension to send the update to Simpro.
Final Touches
Your configuration page should look similar to this after the entries are done. It may vary depending on your inputs.
