Boards & Categories Sync Management

Concept

Every PSA board connected to Thread has a checkbox that controls whether that board is synced and visible across the platform. When a checkbox is unchecked, Thread stops syncing that board, hides it from all dropdowns and filters, and silently drops any inbound webhook events for tickets on that board. When checkbox is checked, syncing resumes, the board reappears throughout the interface, and new ticket updates begin flowing in again. Important: Excluding a board does not update existing filters automatically. If the board was referenced in Assistive AI managed access rules or any explicit filter, those must be cleaned up manually. Exclude boards that aren’t relevant to your team’s workflow so agents only see actionable tickets in Thread. Re-including a board restores visibility with no permanent data loss.

How To

Enable or Disable a Board
1

Open Manage Sync for Boards & Categories

Navigate to Integrations → PSA → PSA Sync → Manage Sync for Boards & Categories.
2

Locate the board

Locate the board using the Filter boards search bar, or scroll through the paginated list.
3

Check or Uncheck boxes

  • Green Checkmark— Board is synced and visible in Thread.
  • No Checkmark — Board is excluded from sync and hidden from dropdowns and filters. For Partners using Autotask, do not exclude the Merged Ticket Queue as it will cause merged tickets to be orphaned
