Amion Integration

Overview

This integration leverages Lightning Bolt as the scheduling source of truth and transmits any mapped data to Amion to be displayed in their system.

Practical Benefits

Reduction of Duplicate Work:
The integration eliminates the need to manually transcribe data that exists in the Lightning Bolt schedule into the Amion platform.

Reduction of Human Error:
Automating the process of inputting schedule data reduces the likelihood of mistakes, ensuring that the data is accurately reflected and matches what’s scheduled in Lightning Bolt.

Additional Notes

Overwriting Data:
As soon as the integration is toggled on, the Lightning Bolt schedule data will begin to overwrite anything that is already scheduled in Amion for any mapped assignments.

Resyncing in Amion:
To manually trigger an immediate resync from Lightning Bolt to Amion, select the ‘Death Star’ icon from the Amion Administrator page.

Integration Protocols

API Data Transmission:
Data is set to transmit at regular intervals throughout the day (typically every 10 minutes). Each transmission will include all of the mapped information between Lightning Bolt and Amion based on the look-back and look-forward integration settings.

Look-Back and Look-Forward:
In order to determine how much data should be sent on a recurring basis, we set up a rolling window (typically 0 days back from today and 90 days forward).

User Identification:
Each user’s Lightning Bolt ID will need to be entered into their ‘ID’ field within Amion to match providers between the two systems.

Assignment Mapping:
Assignments are mapped to Amion by adding in the Lightning Bolt assignment structure IDs into the ‘Service IDs’ field within Amion’s Enterprise Account Administrator page.

Amion Administration Password:
To connect and update the schedule data, the Lightning Bolt team will need access to the Amion password. If data from multiple Lightning Bolt schedules are being passed over to Amion, separate integrations will have to be set up for each schedule. A password will be required for each schedule as well.
