With this connector, you can use Power Automate, Power Apps, or Azure Logic Apps to automate actions in Alvao or to integrate Alvao with other applications. The connector allows you to start automations tied not only to the workflow of tickets in the Service Desk, but also to the lifecycle of assets registered in the Asset Management. Connector actions then allow you to move the ticket workflow or manage the asset lifecycle.

Prerequisites

You will need to be an ALVAO customer (SaaS or On-prem) with a version of ALVAO at least 11.1 and have REST API available from the internet.

How to get credentials

  1. Create an application account in Alvao WebApp - Administration - Users.
  2. Set at least the Name and Surname, User name and enable the option Application account - Other applications.
  3. Set a password to this account.
  4. Set the appropriate permissions for the account to work with tickets or assets.
  5. Use the User name and Password of this account to create a connection to this connector.

Note: You will also need the URL to your Alvao REST API which you can find in Alvao WebApp - Administration - Settings - Web services.

Get started with your connector

After creating the connection, you can use various triggers or actions.

For example, grant permission to read a folder on SharePoint using an automated flow based on the approval of a ticket in the Alvao Service Desk:

  1. Use the When a ticket transitions to a status trigger and specify the name of the process and the state in which to trigger the flow.
  2. Then add the Get Ticket action and as input enter the Ticket ID available from the trigger.
  3. Then, use for example the requester's email you got from the action, and use it for finding the user in M365 and assigning him appropriate permissions.

Other actions can also help you with automations in Asset Management. E.g. actions for creating an asset, changing the values of its properties or moving it within the registry. If you need to regularly import assets from another system, you can use the action Import objects from CSV.

Known issues and limitations

  • All triggers are only available in ALVAO 11.2 or higher.
  • These actions are only available in ALVAO 11.2 or higher:
    • Create object
    • Get object
    • Get objects
    • Update object properties
    • Move objects
    • Get users
    • Import objects from CSV
  • Some actions require an entity ID as input, which must exist within Alvao. These IDs are usually found in the Alvao WebApp at the end of the URL on their detail or edit pages.

Common errors and remedies

  • 403 Forbidden - Check whether the used application account has all the necessary permissions to perform the action. Also check the credentials used in the connection.
  • 404 Not found - Check that all input parameters are correct and the REST API URL is correct in the connection. Check whether the action is available in your version of ALVAO.

FAQ

Custom fields

The connector also supports reading and writing values from/to ticket custom fields. Custom fields can't be described in the general connector definition, so you need to use the following techniques for processing them.

To read a value of a ticket’s custom field, use expressions in the Get ticket action. E.g., to read the value of the TicketCategory field, use the expression:

outputs('Get_request')?['body/customItems/TicketCategory/value']

To write a value in a ticket’s custom field, use the Update ticket action with a custom JSON specification. E.g., to write the "monitor failure" value in the TicketCategory field, use this specification in the Custom Items field:

{
  "TicketCategory": {
    "@@odata.type": "#Alvao.Rest.Api.Models.SD.CustomItem",
    "name": "TicketCategory",
    "value": "monitor failure"
  }
}

Note: The character "@" is doubled because of escaping.

Creating a connection

The connector supports the following authentication types:
