Overview

Integration between SuiteFiles and WorkflowMax (WFM) is two-way. That is, WFM pulls file data back from SuiteFiles to display in their interface. SuiteFiles also pulls client information from WFM and uses this to pre-populate document and email templates.

  1. You’ll need to be a SuiteFiles Administrator, who is also a WFM Administrator in order to complete the steps below.
  2. If you need to make your WFM Administrator a SuiteFiles Administrator so that they can complete this reconnection process, please have one of your existing SuiteFiles Administrators follow the steps here.
  3. Only one person needs to complete this for your SuiteFiles site. Once connected, the changes will be reflected for all users.
