If you are using Flexera as the entitlement tracking provider, Zuora’s Flexera Connector can give you the flexibility to manage the entitlements tied to subscriptions by tying your Zuora subscription billing settings directly to your Flexera account.

Flexera Connector Overview

The Flexera Connector not only creates entitlements and entitlement line items in Flexera upon the creation of a subscription with rate plan charges in Zuora, but also updates the entitlements and entitlement line items when amendments occur to subscriptions in Zuora. The connector has REST endpoints that can be called by a Web service or by the standard Zuora callouts when subscriptions are created or amended.

Features 

  • Link Entitlements in Flexera to Zuora Subscription.        
  • Change Entitlements to inactive when a subscription is canceled.         
  • Extend an Entitlement when a subscription is renewed.     
  • Add or remove entitlements when a subscription is changed.
  • Update the product quantity in a subscription.
  • Push usage and activation data from Flexera into Zuora.
