Projectmates is an owner-focused construction program management software with a comprehensive set of tools to manage all aspects of a project. However, we understand that many owners, architects and contractors are also utilizing PlanGrid along with Projectmates. To minimize double data entry, the PlanGrid integration will allow you to import RFIs and sheets into Projectmates.

Before you can begin importing items from PlanGrid into Projectmates, you must first link both of the accounts:

1. Access your profile. This can be done by clicking My Profile if you are currently in the My Work or My Projects page. If you are already inside of a project, click on My Team > My Profile.
2. In your Edit User Profile menu, click the External Credentials Tab.
