The Avetta connector feeds the Certificate Vault. You bring your own Avetta subscription, and Coverbase reads it with your credentials once a day.
If a Avetta response does not have the shape Coverbase expects, the sync stops and records the error. It never treats such a response as an empty list, because an empty pull archives every certificate the network supplied.
What it does
Avetta prequalifies suppliers and contractors on safety, insurance and compliance. Coverbase reads your client account’s suppliers and writes each one’s Avetta prequalification status, safety statistics and insurance into the vault.- Matched to your vendors. Each record is matched to a vendor by a match recorded on an earlier run, then by its domain (walking up to the parent domain, never down), then by its exact legal name. A record that matches no vendor is skipped.
- Kept current. A network record is keyed by the network’s ID and the certificate type. A complete pull archives records the network no longer returns.
- Read by prequalification. Network grade, network status and safety or ESG figure conditions in your prequalification rule sets read these records. Only current records count.
Authentication
Avetta issues an API token for your client account. Coverbase reads/v1/clients/<account ID>/suppliers from https://api.avetta.com.
- Ask Avetta for an API token for your client account.
- Note your Avetta client ID.
Set up in Coverbase
- Open Configuration → External Integrations and click Avetta.
- Enter API Token and Account ID (your client ID).
- Click Save, then Test connection.
- On the Certificates page, the Networks card shows Avetta as connected, with its certificate count and last sync. Click Sync now for the first pull.
