Issue Description

After establishing a successful Halo Integration with MSPbots, clients encounter API data synchronization failure or experience cases where the data is in Pending status.

The error messages are as follows: 

403: Forbidden error indicates lack of permission to access.
"/Appointment : 403:Forbidden"
"/Tickets : 403:Forbidden"

This issue occurs because the Agent's login type is incorrectly set resulting in insufficient permissions and data synchronization failure. To resolve this, clients need to set the correct login type for the Agent.

Prerequisites

Users using Halo may encounter this issue. Before performing the instructions below, ensure the Halo integration and authorization are successful. Only administrators can perform these steps. 

Resolution

To set up the Agent with the correct login type

1. On the Add an Application screen of Halo PSA, select Agent for the Login Type. 
2. Then select Administrator for Agent to log in as. 
   
   
   
   
3. Set the minimum permission to read:tickets. Other permissions can be added according to needs. For more information, refer to the HaloPSA guide on Setting up an API Agent.
