Company Auto-Linking

If you don't want to utilize auto-linking, set the account mapping setting Disable Company Auto-Mapping to On in VMS Sync Admin Tools. You can find this setting under Accounts > View Account > Details > Mapping Settings.

When a VMS Company is first saved, VMS Sync will attempt to auto-link it to an ATS Company, using Google Place IDs. Auto-linking uses the following logic:

First Check

  • If feature companyFuzzyAutoLink is on: If ATS Company exists in Sync’s database with its exact Google Place ID and Zip Code saved to it
  • OR If ATS Company exists in Sync’s database with its exact location and abbreviations of VMS location saved to ATS company Matches
  • OR If ATS Company exists in Sync’s database with its exact googleFormattedAddress saved to it Matches

The following actions will occur:

  • If a match is found: The VMS Company is auto-linked to the ATS Company.
  • If a match is not found: VMS Sync performs a second check.

Second Check

VMS Sync will retrieve all saved ATS companies with the same zip code and query Google to find their Place IDs and googleFormattedAddress (and save them).

The following actions will occur:

  • If a match is found: VMS Company is auto-linked to ATS Company.
  • If multiple ATS companies match: VMS Sync saves the VMS Company as Unmapped.
  • If a match is not found: VMS Sync saves the VMS Company as Unmapped.

Auto-Linking is supported with the Use Company Worksites (aka Locations) setting enabled under Accounts > View Account > Details > Mapping Settings.

If you want VMS Sync to create a new ATS Company record when one isn't found via auto-linking, set up ATS Company Auto Create.
