Integration
Crewhu + IT Glue integration allows you to measure and reward your team for hitting documentation goals, using contests based on the metrics that you want to track:
- Documents created
- Documents updated
- Documents viewed
- Documents deleted
- IT Glue engagement score
- Custom documentation score
-
Activate Integration
Once the integration is on, you can either use the Documentation Engagement Internal Score or create your own score based on individual documentation metrics or documentation score.
Important:
IT Glue built an IP Restriction feature. So, in order for the integration to work, you have to whitelist Crewhu's IP addresses: 34.239.241.103 and 54.145.101.1.

1. Documentation Engagement Internal Score
Go to Setup > Scores. By default, Crewhu offers 3 Internal Scores:
Click on Documentation Engagement. Note that Internal Scores cannot be changed. However, if you click on Copy, you will be able to create a new score, change the weights and suppress or add metrics if necessary. Learn how to do that on step #2.
The default Documentation Engagement Internal Score gives 10 points for each document created, 5 points for each document updated and 1 point for each viewed document. When you create a contest using this metric, you will be able to choose how many Crewhu Bucks you will reward the employees that hit their goals:

2. Create a Custom Documentation Engagement Score

- Type a Name for the Custom Score;
- Choose the Unit (# makes more sense for documentation scores);
- Choose the Order (Higher the Better is more commonly used for documentation metrics)
- For the example above we used Weights;
- Add as many Criteria as you wish by clicking on "+". Click on "-" to delete the criteria. Choose the metric from the dropdown menu and type how many points each metric is worth;
- Save at the end.
Your newly created documentation score will now appear on the Score list. Double click to edit it if necessary:
You can create as many scores as you wish.

Leaderboard example
IT Glue Documentation Engagement - your crew will be able to view leaderboard and contest details in their account:
Note:
- The Crewhu + IT Glue integration will automatically update the contest every 15 minutes. Once the contest is launched, you might have to wait a little bit for the update;
- IT Glue integration is based on the employee's email, and not the employee ID, so the employee's email must be a match in both Crewhu and IT Glue. Learn more about this here;
- At the moment, our IT Glue integration point to the US server by default. If you use a different server (such as the European), please open a ticket with support (support@crewhu.com) requesting the change. Also, you have to add the API Token in Settings > Integrations so we can validate the server.
