A tenant admin creates the API token, and the Volty team sets Volty up with it as a custom connection. - 01 · Create a token on API Tokens · A tenant admin creates it in Aurora. Choose a restricted key to scope Volty to projects with a tag. - 02 · Try it in sandbox first · Aurora issues sandbox and production keys separately, so the setup is tested before live projects. - 03 · Approve Volty's use · An admin in Volty approves it once. - 04 · Switch tools on · Reading the design can be On. Creating projects starts Off. ### The tools Volty gets Each one is a switch on the Sources page in Volty. - Find project · Reads - Read design and system size · Reads - Read proposal status · Reads - Create project · Changes Reading tools can be turned on straight away. Anything that changes Aurora Solar starts Off, and once on it can be set to check with staff, so each change waits for a colleague. ## Common questions ### Can we limit Volty to some Aurora Solar projects? Yes. Aurora's API has standard keys, one per tenant, and restricted keys scoped to projects by tag. A tenant admin creates either on the API Tokens screen. With a restricted key, Volty only reads projects carrying the tag you choose, such as residential sales. ### Does Volty read the price on an Aurora proposal? If you agree to share proposals, yes. In the example Volty gives the cash price for each option. You can keep pricing out, and Volty will send the homeowner to their designer for numbers. ### Can Volty notice when a homeowner opens their proposal? Aurora sends webhooks for events including a viewed web proposal and an agreement status change. Our team can set Volty up to receive the ones you want, for example to tell a rep in team chat when a proposal is opened. ### How much does it cost to connect Aurora Solar with Volty?
