What Syncs to InEight

Project Photos
Videos
PDF Attachments

Before You Connect: InEight Setup Requirements

Before connecting in Raken, complete the following steps in your InEight project. These are required for the integration to function correctly.

Enable Auto-Numbering

In your InEight project settings, enable Auto-numbering for the Documents module using the trigger "auto". Only the Documents module requires this setting.

Create Template Documents

Raken uses template documents in InEight to determine the correct metadata and document format for each content type it transfers. You must create these templates in InEight before connecting — place all templates in a folder named Templates so Raken can locate them.

The document number field on each template must be set exactly as listed below. These document numbers are how Raken identifies which template to use for each content type.

Required templates:

RAKEN_DAILY_REPORT_TEMPLATE — Applied to all daily report types when optional templates are not present
RAKEN_ATTACHMENT_TEMPLATE — Applied to all attachments (photos, PDFs, Excel, Word, etc.)

Optional templates:

RAKEN_SUB_DAILY_REPORT_TEMPLATE — Applied to Collaborator (Subcontractor) Reports; falls back to RAKEN_DAILY_REPORT_TEMPLATE if not present
RAKEN_SUPER_DAILY_REPORT_TEMPLATE — Applied to Super Daily Reports; falls back to RAKEN_DAILY_REPORT_TEMPLATE if not present

You also need an active InEight project with API access enabled for each project you want to integrate. Contact InEight Support if API access is not currently enabled on your projects.

How to Connect InEight

Step 1: Navigate to Integrations

Log into the Raken web app. Click Company in the left side navigation, then click Integrations.

Step 2: Connect InEight

Click the InEight tile to open the integration settings. Click the orange + Connect button in the top right. Enter your InEight 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 InEight project from the dropdowns, then click + Configuration. Repeat for each project you want to connect.

Once linked, new Raken content will sync to the InEight Documents module for the configured projects going forward.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

My content isn't appearing in InEight — what should I check?

The most common cause is a missing or incorrectly named template document in InEight. Verify that your RAKEN_DAILY_REPORT_TEMPLATE and RAKEN_ATTACHMENT_TEMPLATE exist in a folder named Templates and that the document number fields are set exactly as listed. Also confirm that Auto-numbering is enabled in the Documents module with the trigger set to "auto".

What InEight account permissions are required?

API access must be enabled for each InEight project you want to integrate. Contact InEight Support to confirm API access is active on your projects.

Do I need to set up templates for every project?

Yes. Template documents must be set up in each InEight project you want to connect. The RAKEN_DAILY_REPORT_TEMPLATE and RAKEN_ATTACHMENT_TEMPLATE are required in every project; the sub-report and super daily templates are optional.

Does historical data sync when I first connect?

No. The integration syncs new content only — reports, photos, and attachments created after the project is linked in Raken. Historical data is not backfilled.
