Here are some examples: **Searching for tickets** ``` Please search for any open tickets that contain the word "server" in the summary. ``` **Creating a ticket** ``` Create a new ConnectWise ticket for company ABC Corp with the summary "Email server not responding" and assign it to the Help Desk board. ``` **Looking up company information** ``` Can you find the contact information for Acme, Inc. in our ConnectWise system? ``` ## Security Considerations - API keys provide full access to your ConnectWise Manage instance based on the permissions of the API Member - Store your credentials securely and never share your configuration file - Consider creating a dedicated API Member with limited permissions specific to the functionality you need ## Contributing Contributions are welcome!
