Connecting Flows with Paperless Parts - Setting up the Integration
Authentise is excited to be able to integrate with Paperless Parts, a cloud-based quoting tool that offers ITAR compatibility. This feature allows the transfer of confirmed orders from the quoting platform directly into Flows for manufacturing. This saves time as users won’t have to recreate their Paperless work in Flows.
With the integration enabled, the following steps will allow you to bring orders from Paperless Parts into Flows.
Adding Authentise Flows to Paperless Parts
This process will take you through how to add Flows as an integration within Paperless Parts.
