In the Description field, enter 'twiindata'.

Once the webhook is created, click it and scroll down to Signing Secret. Click to reveal it:
Copy the contents of this box and email it to your Twiindata account manager to set up in Twiindata. Once this step has been completed, the process of mapping amenities in OfficeRnD to bandwidth provision in Twiindata can commence.
Our team will be happy to assist you with this; however, if you wish to do it yourself, then select Import Bandwidth Groups from the OfficeRnD menu on Twiindata:
Twiindata will then show a list of amenities from OfficeRnD.
Amenities already associated with bandwidth groups on Twiindata are listed as ‘(synced).’ To set up new associations, tick the box in the ‘Import’ column and fill in the desired values for ‘Pool’, ‘Guaranteed’, and ‘Cap’ speeds in the same way you normally would when defining a twin data bandwidth group. Once the table is complete, click Add Selected Products.
Pre-patched sites
If you have a pre-patched site, the next stage is to set up the association between desks, offices, and Twiindata port groups.
This is done through the Import Port Groups menu in Twiindata:
If you want to import all rooms/desks, ensure all checkboxes are checked in the import column and click Add Selected Desks.
Once this is complete, the normal Twiindata port group editor should be used to assign switch ports to the newly imported groups.
Once this is finished, please contact the Twiiindata support team, who will check over the setup. If all is working, we will enable syncing, and clients will be synced from OfficeRnD to Twiiindata automatically.
