Integrations Tab: Setting up Opusense

  • Ben Schantz

Overview

Fieldwire users on a Business or Business Plus subscription can connect their Fieldwire account or projects to Opusense, an AI-powered field documentation and reporting platform for engineering, inspection, and field review teams.

The Opusense integration allows you to streamline the flow of field observations, reports, and follow‑up tasks between the two systems. With this integration, teams can:

  • Push final Opusense inspection/assessment reports directly into Fieldwire Files
  • Convert report “next steps” or deficiencies into Fieldwire Tasks
  • Pull selected Fieldwire Tasks into Opusense to generate a custom report, then upload that report back into Fieldwire

This creates a connected workflow from field capture → report creation → task execution → structured documentation, helping teams reduce manual effort and keep project information centralized.

Note: This article covers how to connect and configure the Opusense integration. For general Fieldwire integration guidance, see:

Setting up a Connection to Opusense

Connecting Fieldwire to Opusense requires the correct permission levels and an API token for authentication.

Requirements

  1. A Fieldwire account with API access
  2. Access to relevant Fieldwire projects
    • The connecting user must be able to view and access the projects that will be linked.
  3. An Opusense account
    • An active Opusense account is required. If you need access or onboarding help, contact the Opusense team.
  4. Authorization between Opusense and Fieldwire
    1. During setup, you will authorize Opusense to:
      • Validate your Fieldwire token
      • List projects available to your account
      • Pull tasks from a selected project (for report creation)
      • Push generated reports into Fieldwire Files
      • Create new Fieldwire tasks from action items

The level of access depends on which workflows you enable.

 

Establishing the workflow requirements

To get the most out of the integration, we recommend the following:

  • Decide which workflows your team will use, such as:
    • Uploading Opusense reports into Fieldwire Files
    • Creating tasks in Fieldwire based on Opusense report output
    • Generating custom reports from selected Fieldwire Tasks
  • Align internally on task conventions in Fieldwire:
    • Statuses
    • Categories
    • Assignees / ownership
  • Use a consistent folder structure in Fieldwire Files to make report uploads predictable.
  • If generating reports from Fieldwire Tasks, decide:
    • Who selects tasks
    • When reports will be generated (e.g., weekly, per inspection, or milestone-based)
