    • Use the provided API address without making changes (this will be locked in future releases).
    • Use the following Client ID and Secret provided to access test projects:
      • Client ID: [Client ID]
      • Secret: [Secret]
    • Click "Test Connection" and wait a couple of seconds for the message "Connection Successful."


Select Project and Mapping

    • Expand "BIM360 Hubs" and choose the desired hub.
    • Choose one of the available projects.
    • Click on "Property Mappings" to view available attributes.
    • Assign mappings by selecting an Email Property and choosing an ACC attribute to map to it.

Add Location (Folder) to Group

    • Click "Add Locations."
    • Navigate to the desired folder structure (e.g., Project Files) and select the folder to add.
    • Click "Add."

Save Group

After configuring settings and adding locations, click "Save Group" to apply changes.

Start Filing

Once the setup is complete, you can file to ACC/BIM360 as usual, leveraging the configured settings and mappings for seamless integration.
