# Zwapgrid-managed Connection

***

A Zwapgrid-managed connection uses an application configuration supplied and maintained by Zwapgrid. This setup remains in use for Accounting Systems that do not yet expose System Settings and for some existing integrations.

For new integrations, use a [client-managed connection](/client-portal/systems/client-managed-connection.md) with [System Settings](/client-portal/systems/system-settings.md) whenever the system supports it. Zwapgrid-managed and client-managed setups are not interchangeable options for every system; follow the relevant [System Setup Guide](/client-portal/systems/setup-guides.md).

### How It Works

When Your Customer connects a system, they share access through Zwapgrid's secure infrastructure. Depending on the Accounting System, this can involve:

* An application client registered and maintained by Zwapgrid.
* Another vendor-specific connection method maintained by Zwapgrid.

You do not create a separate System Setting for this setup. If System Settings later become available for the system, coordinate the migration with Zwapgrid before changing a production integration.

### Example: Visma Spiris

For an existing Zwapgrid-managed Visma Spiris integration, previously known as Visma eAccounting, Your Customer authorises access within Spiris. Zwapgrid's application configuration is then used to exchange the permitted data through API.1.

Your Customer will see the following:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zwapgrid.com/client-portal/systems/zwapgrid-managed-connection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
