Setting up the integration:

To take advantage of any of the integration points available, an admin user of your Redtail CRM must enable the Morningstar Advisor Workstation integration within your database. To enable, go to Manage Your Integrations from your Top Right Menu Bar:

On the resulting page, scroll through our alphabetical list of integration partners until you see Morningstar and click inside the On/Off toggle to enable the integration:

Your database users can then take advantage of the integration features available to all Redtail CRM users.

To utilize the features available to you specifically as a Morningstar Advisor Workstation subscriber, you'll have additional settings to update. To do so:

Go to your Advisor Workstation File Menu and click User Profile:
Click the Integrations tab and then click Generate in the Redtail row. Copy the access code that is generated using CTRL+C on your keyboard:
Go to Redtail CRM and click on your username in the upper right corner. Then, click on Manage Your Integrations:
Scroll to Morningstar and click the Actions icon. Choose Settings:
Choose Advisor Workstation and enter your Inst ID, Login ID and access code and click Save. You can get your Inst ID and Login ID from the Help > Support section of Advisor Workstation:

Note: if additional users in your office are attempting to set this up using your Morningstar Advisor Workstation subscription username, they will need a new access code generated if performing this setup at a different time than you, as each access code generated is valid for a short time only.
The integration will then be enabled within your Redtail database.

To access an aggregate or contact level report, click the Account Options button within the Accounts section of a contact record:

Integration functionality:

In the previous version of Redtail CRM, Morningstar Advisor Workstation subscribers had the capability to create and download an .xml file from a contact record in Redtail that would then allow them to import the contact into their Advisor Workstation account. This capability is present in Tailwag as well, but the integration between Redtail and Morningstar has been enhanced to offer additional tools to Morningstar Advisor Workstation subscribers as well as to those Redtail subscribers who don’t currently use Advisor Workstation. We’ll cover all of this below. Note: these new features of the integration are only available to Redtail CRM users who upgrade to Project Tailwag. Additionally, those tools only available to Morningstar Advisor Workstation subscribers will be available to all new Tailwag trial users for a period of 30 days.
