Before connecting to Certinia: Install the Expensify bundle in Certinia using the relevant installer:
- PSA/SRP
 - FFA
 - Check the contact details in Certinia:
    
- Confirm there’s a user and contact in Certinia that matches your main email in Expensify
 - Then, create contacts for all employees who will be sending expense reports
 - Be sure that each contact’s email matches the email address associated with their Expensify account

- Create a new permission control
 - Set yourself (exporter) as the user
 - Select the resource (report submitter)
 - Grant all available permissions
 
 
 - Go to Permission Controls
        
 - Set permissions on any project you are exporting to
