The connection

How does Horizon actually get into FYI?

Horizon connects through FYI's official API. FYI approves the connection, and your practice decides which records Horizon can use.

How work can start

FYI Automations can start Horizon when something changes. Other checks run on a schedule you agree.

What we confirmed about the FYI connection

  • Access is granted through FYI's Single Practice or Application Partner route, and what is available depends on your practice plan.
  • Some records, invoices included, only come with certain FYI plans.
  • Deleting FYI records is not part of the documented access, so workflows are designed never to need it.
  • FYI has no public test environment, so we agree a safe testing approach with FYI before anything runs against live practice records.

Day to day

Use FYI without jumping between systems.

FYI stays the home of your practice records. Your team asks in Teams, Copilot, Claude or ChatGPT, and Horizon answers with only the approved records that request needs.

We start with one test user and client set, then add file sync and actions after the connection is proven.

Common questions

Using Horizon with FYI, answered.

What could our team ask Horizon to do with FYI?
Your team can check missing BAS information, prepare a pre-meeting view, and draft FYI tasks or file notes for approval.
Can our team use FYI from Microsoft Teams?
Yes, after the agreed access is approved. Your team asks Horizon in Teams, Horizon checks the approved FYI information and connected systems, then returns the answer or proposed action for review.
Can Horizon use FYI with Outlook, SharePoint or our other software?
Yes. We design one workflow around FYI and the other approved systems your team relies on, so the result can use the relevant information without staff opening each system separately.
Can Horizon prepare changes in FYI, not just answer questions?
Yes, where FYI supports the agreed action. Horizon prepares the change, shows it to the right person and applies it only under the permissions and review rules agreed for the workflow.
What would we start with in FYI?
We start with one useful, controlled request such as: @Horizon, what is still missing for Chen Pty Ltd's December BAS? Check its FYI job, documents and tasks, plus the latest client emails. The first version stays narrow enough to test with real staff and real review steps.
What access is needed before work starts?
FYI must approve access and availability varies by plan. We confirm the records and actions first, then test one controlled workflow with your practice.
Does Horizon replace FYI?
No. FYI remains the system your team uses. Horizon connects only the approved data and actions needed for the agreed workflow.
How does Horizon keep the FYI workflow safe?
We agree exactly which records, people and actions are in scope. We test one limited workflow with approved examples, keep important changes behind human review and expand only after the pilot is working properly.
