Overview
Our ORCA integration allows you to automatically sync ownership and valuations to ORCA. ORCA uses this data to create dynamic structure charts that you can enrich with legal, tax, and compliance data and securely share with any stakeholder.
Setup Process
Step 1: Create an Integration-Specific User in Addepar
To avoid disruptions to the integration, create an integration-specific user account and email address for the setup.
- Navigate to Firm Administration > Users > Create User.
- Name the user after the integration and fill in the user details. For example, the name could be 'Integration Name' and the email address (e.g., integration.name@yourfirm.com).
- When setting up Addepar integration, make sure you have access to the domain associated with the newly created email address (e.g., integration.name@yourfirm.com).
- If needed, contact your IT team to receive the Addepar password setup.
- Check the box to include the login information in the welcome email and create the user.
Next, set user permissions. Give the user 'full access' or any permissions specified in the configuration guide. Find the welcome email and sign in to Addepar with the temporary password. Then, reset the user's password and store it securely. Start the integration setup and sign in as the new user.
Step 2: Grant User Access to the Integration in Addepar
Still signed in as the integration-specific user, grant other users access to authorize and connect the integration to their Addepar account, and grant access within Firm Administration. You can automatically grant access to all current and future users, or select specific users. Anyone without access will not be able to authorize and set up the integration. Users can disconnect from authorized integrations in their Personal Settings.
Step 3: Connect ORCA to Addepar
- Go to ORCA > User Profile > Account Administration.
- Select a vault you would like to integrate with Addepar.
- Select the Integrations tab, and click Connect. This will redirect you to Addepar, where you can sign in as the integration-specific user and authorize the integration.
- Setting up the integration. - ORCA pulls information from Addepar on Entities, ownership transactions, and valuations. With this integration, you can map Addepar Entities to ORCA classes.
- Using the list of Addepar and ORCA classes provided below, you can map the entities accordingly.
