Linking the Property to SmartLink in Properties
Navigate to the Properties module and select your property. From the Property's Detail Screen, select the triple dot menu and then select Weathermatic SmartLink.
When clicked for the first time on a property, Aspire will navigate to the SmartLink Weathermatic website. You'll see this login screen:
📌 Note: Each employee that would use the Weathermatic SmartLink integration will need to know your company's Weathermatic login information.
Once logged in, Weathermatic will detect the geolocation of the selected property. The Weathermatic website will display a list of all properties within one mile of the specified location as shown below.
You will select one of the sites from the list. That site will be tied back to the Aspire property. If you've selected an incorrect property, please go here.
Now that the property is linked, selecting the Weathermatic SmartLink in Aspire will go directly to the management screen for the property in SmartLink. The Weathermatic Property Management screen will then be displayed as shown below.

To do this in Aspire Mobile, click the Weathermatic icon in the Work Ticket screen at the bottom of the work ticket window. Follow steps 2, 3, and 4 as listed above.
