Alloovium

Integrations

Autodesk Forma (ACC / BIM 360)

Connect Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) to sync drawings and documents from your projects into Alloovium. Setup takes about 10 minutes and only needs a Hub Admin — no developer account required.

Overview

The Autodesk integration connects Alloovium to your Forma (ACC) or BIM 360 hub through a dedicated Alloovium service account. Once connected, Alloovium syncs drawings and documents from the Files area of the projects you choose, picks up new versions automatically, and makes everything queryable alongside the rest of your project documents. Support for structured records — RFIs, submittals, and issues — is on the roadmap.

Read-only access

Alloovium requests read-only access to your Autodesk data. We never modify files, RFIs, or submittals in BIM 360 or ACC. Read our data handling commitments →

What data we access

We read: documents and drawing files (PDFs) from the Files area of projects you add the Alloovium service account to, plus folder and version metadata. Access is scoped per project — we only see projects you explicitly invite the service account to. We do not read billing, payment, or account-level settings.

Setup

You don't need to create anything in Autodesk's developer portal. A Hub Admin authorises the Alloovium app once, then invites the Alloovium service account to each project you want to sync. The Client ID and service account email are shown on the Integrations → Autodesk page in Alloovium.

  1. Open Custom integrations

    In Forma, open Hub Admin → Settings → Custom integrations. If the menu item is missing, open any project's Files module once and check again — Autodesk enables it on first use of Docs.

  2. Add the Alloovium integration

    Click "Add custom integration", paste the Alloovium Client ID (SVaDGugX8w9INIwG5abapL5Jrq691TxeuYSuhI72wDSOADmj) and name it "Alloovium" exactly. On the next step, keep Document Management (and Account Administration, if offered) enabled, then save. The Alloovium service account is added to your hub automatically.

  3. Invite the service account to your projects

    Open each project you want to sync → Members → add the Alloovium service account (alloovium-sync@SVaDGugX8w9INIwG5abapL5Jrq691TxeuYSuhI72wDSOADmj.adskserviceaccount.com) as a Project member with the Data Management (Docs) product enabled — plus Build if your projects use it. Service accounts activate automatically; no invite acceptance needed.

  4. Connect in Alloovium

    In Alloovium, go to Integrations → Autodesk and click Connect. Your hub becomes visible within a couple of minutes of the first project invitation.

  5. Choose folders to sync

    Browse to the project's Files folders, pick the ones you want, and start the sync. New files and new versions in those folders are picked up automatically from then on.

Forma Hub Admin — Add custom integration dialog with the Alloovium Client ID filled in

ACC is now Forma

Autodesk renamed Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) to Forma in March 2026 — Autodesk Docs is now "Forma Data Management" and Autodesk Build is "Forma Build". The steps are the same on either branding. Legacy BIM 360 hubs are also supported.

Permissions

The Alloovium service account authenticates with read-only scopes and can only see projects it has been invited to:

  • data:read — read documents, drawings, and model data
  • account:read — read project members and project metadata

Troubleshooting

Custom integrations is missing from Hub Admin

Open any project's Files module once, then re-check Settings → Custom integrations. If it still doesn't appear, email bim360appsactivations@autodesk.com with your account ID (Settings → Profile → View Account ID), account name, and admin email, requesting Docs API activation.

Hub not appearing in Alloovium

The hub only becomes visible to Alloovium once the service account is a member of at least one project. Confirm the custom integration shows as Active, the service account is a project member with Data Management enabled, and allow a few minutes for Autodesk to propagate the change.
