Mavenlink

The Mavenlink modules enable you to monitor, list, retrieve, create and update projects, tasks and time entries in your Mavenlink account.

Getting Started with Mavenlink

Prerequisites

  • A Mavenlink account

In order to use Mavenlink with Integromat, it is necessary to have a Mavenlink account. If you do not have one, you can create a Mavenlink account at mavenlink.com.

The module dialog fields that are displayed in bold (in the Integromat scenario, not in this documentation article) are mandatory!

Connecting Mavenlink to Integromat

To connect your Mavenlink account to Integromat follow the general instructions for Connecting to services.

After you click the Continue button, Integromat will redirect you to the Mavenlink website where you will be prompted to grant Integromat access to your account.
