Troubleshooting

API error when connecting touchSMS to JobAdder

In order to ensure users are able to utilise the touchSMS and JobAdder integration, all users will need to ensure they have API access granted on the JobAdder platform.

To do this, simply get your JobAdder admin to navigate to the ‘Admin’ settings under ‘Account’.
Within the admin settings, click on ‘Users’ under general settings. You will then need to go into each user who will need access to the JobAdder integration and then ensure ‘Grant API access to integration partners’ is switched on.

This will then allow users to connect to their touchSMS + JobAdder Integration.
