Sync Times
Integration sync times in Mosaic vary, ranging from an hour to a day, depending on the specific integration. For detailed cadence information, refer to the Readme page of your integration.
Automation
Mosaic automates data mapping across several key areas for efficient integration. Some examples are listed below:
- Clients: Seamless integration of client data.
- Projects: Accurate and timely project information updates.
- Phases: Detailed phase tracking within projects.
- Work Categories: Integration of Service Items, Activities, or Labor Codes, where applicable.
- Time Entries: Streamlined time entry synchronization.
- Work Plans: Integration of work plans, where applicable.
- Bill Rates: Automatic mapping of billing rates, if relevant to the integration.
These automated processes enhance data accuracy and operational efficiency.
Data Transfers
When an integration runs, it executes data transfer from the integrated system to Mosaic. Mosaic pulls in data from tables in integrated software systems, which are structured like cells in a spreadsheet. ‘Data Transfers’ are the core metrics for determining the integration cost.
A Data Transfer does not correspond directly to the number of API calls to a service. The integration may make several calls to an API when it executes, but the Data Transfer only counts as a single Data Transfer.
Data Transfers are counted as they drive the cost through processing power consumption and memory allocation on our servers.
Example 1: If you transfer an employee name, with first & last name, it counts as two (2) transfers.
Example 2: If you transfer phase name, phase start date, phase end date, and phase fee it counts as four (4) transfers.
Example 3: If you transfer a Time Entry, it will consist of up to 8 Transfers - Date, Project, Phase, Work Category, and Number of hours.
- The integration from the 3rd Party Service to Mosaic is set up after you have paid for the Mosaic Subscription. Without exception, no work can begin until subscription payment has been received.
- Access to the 3rd Party Service for the integration must be provided to Mosaic within 30 days of converting to a paid subscription. Otherwise, the Integration Fee may revert to the pre-discount amount, and the integration work by Mosaic may be rescheduled.
- The integration is a one-way sync of data from the 3rd Party Service to Mosaic, unless expressly stated on that integration's documentation, found at https://readme.mosaicapp.com/docs
- The Integration Fee includes up to 100,000 Data Transfers per month unless otherwise specified in the signed Proposal.
- The Integration Fee includes one integration set up with the 3rd Party Service. Additional Integrations will incur additional Integration Fees.
- Mosaic will only sync Data Fields from Target Fields. Any information stored outside a Target Field will not sync to Mosaic. Information stored in a location unique to you can potentially be integrated at an additional cost.
- Any data points you want to be integrated from the 3rd Party Service to Mosaic, in addition to the Data Fields listed above, will be charged at an additional cost. This is on the basis that the data points can be sent out of the 3rd Party Service and picked up by Mosaic, and the data points have a matching Data Field in Mosaic.
- You are responsible for ensuring data is accurately entered in the 3rd Party Service.
- If you restore from a backup of the 3rd Party Service, any duplicate entries created in Mosaic are your responsibility to remove.
- Mosaic does not provide training for the 3rd Party Service
- If you import data in error, it is your responsibility to delete the data in Mosaic.
- Mosaic Data Fields cannot be renamed to match terminology/naming conventions in the 3rd Party Service.
- Mosaic’s integration is subject to change based on the data made available through the 3rd party systems API. Mosaic makes no promises or guarantees on continuing to offer an integration as part of the Subscription Service.
- It is your responsibility to develop integrations between Other 3rd Party Services and Mosaic’s open API’s. Mosaic does not develop or provide dedicated support for integrations You develop.
- Nonstandard implementations or customizations of 3rd Party Services may limit integration capabilities and/or incur additional fees to accommodate data transfer with Mosaic.
