Integration checklist

  • Bidirectional ticket / alert sync

    One-way alert push only — closing the ticket does not clear the alert.

  • Asset / device mapping

    Devices match to client records automatically after the initial mapping pass.

  • Alert escalation rules

    Escalation logic has to live in one system; expect duplicated rule sets.

  • Billing reconciliation

    Neither product owns billing — reconcile through your billing/PSA layer.

  • Webhook / event support

    Both sides expose event webhooks (API grades A and A).

Common bottlenecks & caveats

  • Sync depth is partial — budget technician time or an automation platform such as Rewst.
  • Seat minimums apply (Hudu: 3, DNSFilter: none) — small tenants pay for unused units.
  • Field mapping is not retroactive: records created before the integration is enabled usually need a one-time backfill.
