Flex Integration and Import

Integration

Simply log into Flex on the Flex Import page in CrewDriver to access tickets in Flex and draft calls based off of call data from Flex.

Note: Your Flex account name is the prefix of your Flex url, ex:  – the account name is crewdriver.

  1. Navigate to the Flex Import page.
  2. Click Sign In to open the sign in modal.
  3. Fill your Flex account name, username, and password and click Sign In.

You can then search and view Flex quotes to select which to draft a call from. Here's an example video of creating calls from Flex quotes in CrewDriver.

Import

Email support@flexrentalsolutions.com and request to have the CrewDriver report enabled. You only have to do this once.

Once that's available you can export a show's labour details from Flex into a csv file. Follow these steps in CrewDriver to import:

  1. Navigate to the Flex Import page.
  2. Click the Import CSV button.
  3. In the modal, click Choose file.
  4. Select your csv file and click Open.
  5. Click Upload in the modal.

Use the import tool to adjust any of the name fields and to group the shifts together on calls, it will automatically populate the call details as you select shifts.

Any call that needs more detail will be marked with a wrench icon, click the wrench and add any missing info. Any call that's ready to roll will have the standard play button available.

That's it! Just message j@crewdriverapp.com if you need help. Nothing launches without you manually saying Start This Call, so you can import things with impunity.
