The Integrations view

The Integrations view is where you set up integrations with supported external platforms for your projects. We offer integrations with Procore, Egnyte, OxBlue, Box, Autodesk® BIM 360® Field and Docs, Oracle Aconex, and Sharepoint Online.


Integrations sync your existing data into Newmetrix so you can use its capabilities without changes to workflows or having to upload assets twice.

NEW: Create linked issues in BIM 360

You can create BIM 360 safety issues directly from within Newmetrix projects with active 360 integrations, including the ability to attach relevant pictures. Note: any projects integrations set up with BIM 360 before Oct 9, 2018 should disconnect/reconnect (disable/enable) the integration in order to pull the appropriate authentication from BIM 360. If you do not disconnect and reconnect your integration, you may not be able to access the steps outlined below. 

  • From the media reviewer screen, click the share taskbar icon: 

  • If you want to attach multiple pictures to the issue you create, start instead from the Files view and select the files you want to attach to the issue you create, then clicking the share taskbar icon.
  • On this pop-up, click to expand menu options and choose Creating a BIM 360 linked issue:
  • Fill out each of these fields with what you want to store in the BIM 360 issue:
    • Type
    • Sub-type
    • Title
    • Description
    • Status
    • Due date
    • Root cause
  • Click Done to finish creation of the new issue.

Set up an Autodesk® BIM 360® Field [legacy] Integration

Follow these steps to set up a one-way integration with a project in Autodesk® BIM 360® Field. The integration automatically syncs Field photos into the connected Newmetrix project approximately every 30 minutes, including issue descriptions, locations, authors and other metadata.

Set up an OxBlue integration

Follow these steps to set up an integration with an OxBlue account. Integrating a Newmetrix project with one or more OxBlue cameras pulls camera images into the project at your chosen frequency. You can also choose to sync daily time lapse videos. 

  • From the Integrations view, click on the OxBlue thumbnail.
  • Under OxBlue Connection, click the Connect button and enter your login information in this pop-up window: 

    If you access your OxBlue cameras via a public URL and don't have an OxBlue login, email support@oxblue.com with the public link for the camera you're trying to integrate. Include your desired username (username must be an email address). OxBlue will then create a login for you and send it to the email address provided, typically within 2 business hours. If you need to expedite the request, call OxBlue customer support at 888-849-2583 to have it expedited. 

  • Under Integration Configuration, you'll see a list of available cameras linked to your account. Use the checkboxes to choose the camera(s) to sync to the project. 

  • Under Window of Time, you can set the time period during which the images will be pulled from the camera(s).

  • Under Frequency, choose how often you want to pull an image from each synced camera. 

  • If you want to sync OxBlue daily time-lapse videos, choose "Daily" in the time lapse menu. Otherwise, leave it set to "Never."

  • Under Integration Status, select the Enabled radio button:

  • Your integration should now be turned on. Wait at least as long as your chosen sync interval before checking for files. 

Change sync settings

If you want to change selected cameras or a different sync frequency:

  • Pause the integration by clicking the Disabled radio button:

  • Under Integration Configuration, un-select cameras to stop syncing with them and select new cameras to sync, and use the Frequency menu to choose a different sync interval. 

  • Click the Enabled button again to save your changes and turn the integration back on. 

Set up a Procore integration

Follow these steps to set up a two-way integration between a Procore project and a Newmetrix project. The integration is bi-directional, meaning photos or videos added to a project in either system will automatically sync to the other. 

Once your integration is configured and projects are connected:

  • If you choose, photos in your Newmetrix project will be added to the photos area of the connected Procore project. 
  • If you choose, Procore locations will be imported as tags and added to files from that Procore location.  These locations will also be available as audio tags in Newmetrix - you can now speak them during field videos and they will tag your content automatically. 
  • Videos in your Newmetrix project will create snapshots (images of video frames) for each tag found in your video, and these images will be added to the photos area of the connected Procore project.
  • Photos in your Procore project will be added to the Files view of the connected Newmetrix project, tagged with the title of the source Procore album.
  • If you choose, any Newmetrix tags on a photo or snapshot will be added to the caption of the corresponding synced Procore photo.
  • Photos or videos deleted in either Newmetrix or Procore won't be deleted in the other system.

To set up the integration:

  • From the Integrations view, click on the Procore thumbnail.
  • Click the Connect button under Procore Connection and enter your login credentials in this pop-up screen:

  • Under Integration Configuration / Procore Company & Procore Project, click to choose (1) the Procore company containing the project to integrate with, (2) the project:

  • You can select either to 1. push just the tags back to the caption of the source Procore photo or 2. push both tags and Newmetrix photos back to Procore albums. Note: if you select "Push all Newmetrix files and tags to Procore", both photos taken by Newmetrix mobile app and photos from other integrations enabled (if any) will be pushed to Procore.

  • Check Download locations from Procore to import Procore locations as tags to the project's tag dictionary.

    • Why? When you turn on locations, synced photos will automatically be tagged with their original Procore location, making it easier to keep track of where photos came from. You can also instantly use any imported location tags as audio tags for progress tracking videos - no need to manually set them up! 

  • Under Integration Status, select the 'Enabled' radio button:

  • Your integration should now be turned on. Wait about 30 minutes before checking for files.

Change sync settings

  • If you later want to sync that specific project with a different Procore project: 

    • Pause the integration by selecting the Disabled radio button:

    • If you have created or joined new projects in Procore, click the Refresh Project Data button to "pull" changes from Procore:
    • Choose another project from the project menu, choose album settings, then select Enabled again to turn the integration back on.

The integration will automatically disconnect and you'll have to reconfigure it if:

  • Your Procore credentials become invalid
  • You are removed from the connected Procore project
  • The company the project belongs to is deleted
  • For two-way sync: the album you are syncing back to gets deleted
