Sage Intacct Setup Guide
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- An active Sage Intacct account with administrator access.
- A Sender ID and Sender Password issued to Matia by Sage Intacct. These will be provided to you during onboarding.
Step 1: Enable the Web Services Subscription
- Sign in to your Sage Intacct account using your company credentials (Company ID, User ID, and login password).
- Navigate to Company > Admin.
- Click Subscriptions.
- In the Applications tab, set the Web Services toggle to ON.
Step 2: Authorize the Matia Sender ID
- Navigate to Company > Setup.
- In the Configuration section, click Company.
- In the Company information window, go to the Security tab.
- Click Edit.
- In the Web Services authorizations section, click Add.
- In the Sender ID field, enter the Sender ID provided by Matia.
- Enter a Description and set the Status to
Active. - Click Save.
Step 3: Configure Sender ID API Settings
Contact Sage Intacct Support to confirm that the Needs Login for API setting for your Sender ID is disabled (set to No).
Important: The Needs Login for API setting must be set to No for Matia to authenticate successfully. If it is set to Yes, all API calls will fail.
Step 4: Create a Dedicated Web Services User
We recommend creating a dedicated user for the Matia integration rather than using a personal account.
- Navigate to Company > Admin > Users.
- Click + Add to create a new user.
- Fill in the required fields:
- User ID – Enter a descriptive identifier, such as
matia-integration. - Last Name / First Name – Enter a recognizable name, such as
Matia Integration. - Email Address – Enter a monitored email address.
- User type – Select
Business.
- User ID – Enter a descriptive identifier, such as
- Under Web Services only, check Yes to restrict this user to API access only.
- Click Save.
Important: If your organization uses multi-entity or multi-company access, ensure this user has access to all entities you wish to sync.
Step 5: Assign Permissions to the User
- Still in the user record, click the Roles or Permissions tab.
- Assign a role (or individual permissions) that grants Read access to the modules you want Matia to sync.
- Click Save.
Note: Matia only performs read operations. You do not need to grant write, create, or delete permissions.
Step 6: Locate Your Company ID
- Navigate to Company > Company Info.
- Copy the value in the Company ID field — you will need this in Matia.
Step 7: Complete Configuration in Matia
- Enter your Sage Intacct Company ID.
- Enter the User ID of the dedicated user you created in Step 4.
- Enter the Login Password for that user.
- Enter the Sender ID issued to Matia by Sage Intacct.
- Enter the Sender Password issued to Matia by Sage Intacct.
- Enter an Asset Name to identify this Sage Intacct source.
- (Optional) Enter a Description.
- (Optional) Assign Tags.
- (Optional) Select an Owner.
- Verify your connection is working by clicking Test Connection.
- Click Connect.
