How to Set Up the Vista Integration in Followup CRM

In this article, you'll learn how to connect Vista to Followup CRM, enable sync modules, configure field mappings, run imports, and validate sync behavior.

Overview

The Vista integration helps your team keep ERP and CRM records aligned with less manual data entry.
You can configure which modules to sync, control how fields map between systems, and monitor sync activity for visibility and troubleshooting.

Supported scope includes:

  • AR Customers

  • Change Orders
  • SM Work Orders
  • SM Service Sites

ℹ️ Note: Some module behavior may run through project-linked sync logic depending on your team’s mapping configuration.
