Connect Raken to Autodesk Construction Cloud to automatically transfer your field data — daily reports, photos, checklists, and toolbox talks — into your BIM 360 or ACC Build project documents. You can also access the full Raken web app directly inside your Autodesk account using the embedded partner card, so your team never has to switch between platforms.


Quick Answer

To connect Autodesk Construction Cloud to Raken:

  1. Log into the Raken web app and click Company > Integrations.

  2. Click the Autodesk Construction Cloud tile and click + Enable.

  3. Authenticate with your Autodesk credentials, then link your Raken and Autodesk projects.

What Syncs to Autodesk

Once your projects are linked, the following content syncs automatically to the Document Management folder in BIM 360, or the Documents tool in ACC Build, after daily reports are signed:

  • Daily Reports

  • Super Daily Reports

  • Collaborator (Subcontractor) Reports

  • Project Photos

  • Checklists

  • Toolbox Talks

Both Autodesk BIM 360 and ACC Build are supported.


How to Connect Autodesk Construction Cloud

Step 1: Set Up in Autodesk

Before connecting in Raken, install the Raken integration from the Autodesk side:

  1. Log into your BIM 360 or ACC Build account.

  2. Navigate to Account Admin.

  3. Click Apps at the top of the page.

  4. Find Raken in the list and click the integration tile.

  5. Click Add to BIM 360 or Install on the left side of the page.

Step 2: Connect in Raken

Log into the Raken web app. Click Company in the left side navigation, then click Integrations. Click the Autodesk Construction Cloud tile, then click the orange + Enable button in the top right. Enter your Autodesk login credentials in the window that appears.

Step 3: Link Your Projects

You'll be returned to the Projects section of the integration settings. Choose the Raken project, Company Name, and corresponding BIM 360 or ACC Build project from the dropdowns, then click + Configuration. Repeat for each project you want to connect.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

My reports aren't syncing to Autodesk — what should I check?

Data syncs only after daily reports are signed. Unsigned reports are not transferred. Also verify that your Autodesk account has the Build and Docs modules enabled and that the Raken app has been installed from Account Admin in Autodesk before connecting in Raken.

Does this work with both BIM 360 and ACC Build?

Yes. Both platforms are supported. The document sync destination differs slightly — BIM 360 uses the Document Management folder, ACC Build uses the Documents tool — but the connection process in Raken is identical.

Does the embedded experience replace the document sync?

No — they're separate features. The document sync pushes Raken content into Autodesk Documents automatically. The embedded experience gives your team access to the full Raken app from within your Autodesk account. You can use both simultaneously.
