What is TOPdesk?

Understand what TOPdesk connects, how data moves, and what to expect from the sync.

TOPdesk connects your TOPdesk environment with OutSmart.

It turns selected TOPdesk calls into OutSmart work orders.

It also updates the linked TOPdesk call after the work is completed.

What you do with TOPdesk

With TOPdesk in OutSmart, you can:

  • import calls as work orders

  • import branches as relations and persons as contact persons

  • import operators as employees

  • update the linked TOPdesk call when a work order is completed

  • send hours, a work order PDF, and photos back to TOPdesk

How data moves

Import

OutSmart imports TOPdesk calls as work orders.

It can also import:

  • branches into relations

  • persons into contact persons

  • operators into employees

Export

When a linked work order is completed, OutSmart updates the original call in TOPdesk.

Depending on your export settings, OutSmart can also send:

  • the new TOPdesk status

  • registered hours and deadline changes

  • the work order PDF

  • work order photos
