Ignition integration Coming soon

Sell in Ignition. Deliver in Uku.

Soon, an accepted proposal brings the client, the work and the fee into Uku, and the finished invoice goes back to Ignition. Nobody retypes anything.

  • The signed client and the work in Uku, from your own templates
  • The agreed fee next to the hours, so you see the margin
  • Finished invoices back in Ignition, sent and collected there

Ignition knows what you charge. Uku knows the hours. Together they show what each client is really worth.

What will sync

What moves between Ignition and Uku.

Ignition sells the engagement and collects the money. Uku runs the work that follows and builds the invoice for it. This is what we are building to move between them.

Uku → Ignition

Finished invoices

The invoice you finish in Uku, from the agreed fee and any extra work, goes to Ignition. Ignition sends it and collects the payment, so your client pays the way they already do.

Ignition → Uku
  • Clients and contacts

    From each accepted proposal: linked to the client you already have, or created new, with the signed proposal kept on the client. Matched on email and name, and you review anything unclear.

  • Accepted services

    Each service starts the Uku workflow template you mapped it to, on the right client, with an owner and due dates.

  • Agreed fee

    The fee from the proposal, on the client, so Uku shows the hours and the effective rate against it.

Planned scope. We confirm the final list when it ships.

Clients

The client signs in Ignition. The client appears in Uku.

No retyping names, emails and contacts from the proposal. Uku links the client you already have or creates a new one, and asks you when a match isn't clear.

  • Linked or created from the accepted proposal
  • Matched on email and name so nobody ends up twice
  • A review step for anything that doesn't match cleanly
Work

Every accepted service starts its own workflow.

Map each Ignition service to an Uku workflow template once. Monthly bookkeeping opens your monthly close, payroll its payroll run, on the right client, with an owner and the next due date.

  • Service to template one or several per service
  • An owner from day one a default you can change per client
  • Recurring work recurs on the schedule in the template
Profitability

The fee you agreed, next to the hours you spend.

Ignition knows the price but never sees the hours. Uku puts the agreed fee on the client, so the effective rate moves as your team tracks time, and you know which fixed fee needs a new conversation.

  • The agreed fee on the client straight from the proposal
  • Hours against the fee from the time your team already tracks
  • Over budget, flagged before you send the invoice
Billing

Invoice in Uku. Get paid in Ignition.

Uku builds the invoice from the agreed fee and any extra work your team logged. Once you approve it, Ignition sends it and collects the payment. Nothing is invoiced twice.

  • Built in Uku from the fee and the extra hours
  • Sent to Ignition when you approve it
  • Paid through Ignition the way your client already pays
How it will work

Connected by an admin, not a developer.

No Zapier account and no one who writes code. Set it up once and keep sending proposals the way you do now.

  1. Connect Ignition

    An admin connects it from Uku's settings. No code, no zaps to maintain.

  2. Map your services

    Pick the workflow template and the default owner for each Ignition service.

  3. Send proposals as usual

    When a client accepts, the client, the work and the fee arrive in Uku. Finished invoices go back to Ignition.

FAQ

Questions about the Ignition integration

When will the Ignition integration be available?

We are building it now and have not set a public date. Book a demo and we will show you where it stands, and you will hear from us first when it is ready.

Can I use Uku with Ignition today?

Yes, through Zapier. Ignition's Proposal Accepted trigger can run Uku's Create Client action, so a signed client appears in Uku, and your team applies the workflow template from there. Zapier needs Ignition Pro or Pro+ and Uku Elite or Enterprise. The native integration is planned to start the work, bring the agreed fee across and send your finished invoices back to Ignition.

Will Uku and Ignition both invoice the client?

No. Each invoice is made once. You finish it in Uku, from the agreed fee and any extra work your team logged, and it goes to Ignition, which sends it and collects the payment. Your client keeps paying through Ignition.

Does Uku replace Ignition?

Not for proposals. Ignition's proposal builder, packages and payment collection are its core, and Uku's proposals are still on the roadmap. Uku runs the work after the signature: tasks, deadlines, time, documents, the client portal and profitability. Our Ignition vs Uku comparison covers where each one fits.

Will I need a developer to set it up?

No. It is being built as an app an admin connects from Uku's settings, with services mapped to workflow templates on screen. Firms that want to build their own connection can also use Uku's public API and webhooks on the Elite plan.

What happens to clients already in both systems?

They are linked, not duplicated. Uku matches an accepted proposal's client on email and name, and anything that does not match cleanly waits for you to confirm before a new client is created.

Is Uku affiliated with Ignition?

No. Ignition is a trademark of its owner. Uku is an independent product and is not endorsed by Ignition.
