What does the Cove integration do?

Our Cove integration links N-able’s Cove Data Protection with Rewst, to automate and manage data protection tasks within your Rewst workflows. Use the N-able Cove API to create, read, update, or delete backup jobs, monitor backup statuses, and access detailed reporting functionalities.

Why use the Cove integration?

Billing reconciliation
Onboarding of customers and devices
Self documentation
Automating actions on backup failure

Integration prerequisites

The user that will be used to authenticate with Cove API must have API Authentication enabled within Cove.

Set up the Cove integration

Set up steps in Cove Data Protection

Log in to Cove Data Protection.
Navigate to Management > Customers
Choose the customer that you want to log in under, and copy their Customer ID. Note that customer profiles display both a Customer ID and a Customer UID. When you enter the customer's profile screen, the collapsible side menu to the left may hide the ID column. Click to dismiss the menu and expose all information. Copy and use the ID value, not the UID value. The correct ID value should be numbers only.

Set up steps in Rewst

In the integrations page, search for the Cove integration.
