Connect Eye-share to import invoices and attachments into Watchdog. Watchdog retrieves information from Eye-share. It does not change invoices, suppliers, or other information there.

​
Before you begin

Ask your Eye-share administrator to set up API access for Watchdog. You will need:

​
Connect in Watchdog

  1. Open Integrations and select Eye-Share.
  2. Select Add connection.
  3. Enter the details from your administrator.
  4. Select Test Connection to check access.
  5. Save the connection.
Start a manual synchronization for the period you want to import. Enable automatic synchronization if Watchdog should keep importing new invoices.

​
For the Eye-share administrator

Create an API client for Watchdog using client_credentials authentication and the api scope. The client needs access to:
  • search for invoices
  • download invoice attachments and original electronic invoice files
  • read supplier information through flatdata
Watchdog retrieves invoices from the costinvoice and purchaseorder modules, depending on which modules are available in your Eye-share environment. Check access for the modules and companies you want to use.

​
Different company codes for each module

If the modules use different company codes, open Settings → Credentials on the Watchdog connection. Enter the codes under Cost invoice company codes and Purchase order company codes. You can enter multiple codes. Leave a field empty to use the default company code for that module. Changes apply to future synchronizations. To import historical invoices from a company you have added, start a manual synchronization for the relevant period. Eye-share provides administrator documentation through its support portal. Ask your administrator or Eye-share for help with your environment’s setup.

​
If the connection test reports a problem

  • Sign-in fails: Check the base URL, client ID, and client secret.
  • Access is missing: Ask your administrator to check invoice and attachment access for the relevant companies.
  • No invoices or documents are found: The test checks a sample only. Check the company code and confirm that invoices with PDF or XML documents are available in Eye-share.
