Settings
e-conomic

- Reconnect — renew access if revoked
- Disconnect — remove the current agreement link
New customer defaults — customer group, payment terms, and VAT zone used when creating customers from search results. Save after changing.
Creditsafe Connect
Enter your API username and password. Use Test Connection before Save. Leave password blank when saving to keep the existing password.
The app uses the Creditsafe production API.
Extra tab (iframe)
e-conomic Extra tabs do not use normal browser cookies. Copy the full URL from Settings (includes iframe=…) into:
e-conomic → Settings → Extensions → Extra tabs → Create tab
Search
Countries
Select one or more countries in the left panel (default: Denmark). At least one country is required to load search fields.
- DK only — search Denmark only
- Add filtered — add countries matching the filter
- Clear — deselect all
Search fields
Fields depend on the selected countries. Common fields:
- Name — company name
- Reg. no. — registration number (e.g. CVR in Denmark)
Click the red Search button. Results appear in Search Results (table or raw JSON).
Row actions (⋮)
Creditsafe
- View report — open credit report
- Add to monitoring — track changes for this company
e-conomic (requires e-conomic connection)
- Create in e-conomic — new customer from Creditsafe data
- Link to existing customer — match an existing customer number
- Update in e-conomic — refresh a linked customer from Creditsafe
If e-conomic finds a duplicate (e.g. same CVR), choose Link existing customer or Create new anyway.
Credit report
Open from a company name or View report in the actions menu.
- Summary — key figures, rating, and status (some values use risk colours from Creditsafe data)
- Raw JSON — full API response
- Download PDF — PDF report when available
Expand sections below the summary for directors, financials, and more. Reports may be cached for faster repeat viewing.
Linked customers
Lists every company linked between a Creditsafe Connect ID and an e-conomic customer number.
Click the company name for a report. Use the ⋮ menu to view reports, add or remove monitoring, update in e-conomic, or go to Search.
Monitoring
Companies
Companies in your monitoring portfolio. Remove companies you no longer need to track. Add companies from Search or Linked customers.
Notifications
Change events from Creditsafe. Filter by date and keyword. Click Sync now for the latest events. Click a row with a Connect ID to open that company’s report.
Event rules
Configure which events to track per country (DK, SE, NO). Save after editing.
Portfolios
Portfolio ID, name, and last sync time. A portfolio is created automatically when you add your first monitored company.

Tips
- Use the Extra tab URL from Settings (with
iframe=) inside e-conomic - In Denmark, searching by CVR (reg. no.) is often more accurate than name alone
- Linked customers saves time for repeat work
- Monitoring alerts you when to re-check a report — it does not replace a full credit review
- Set customer defaults before creating many new customers
What this app does not do
- Manage invoices, ledger, or products in e-conomic
- Replace the full Creditsafe portal
- Send email or push notifications for monitoring events (view events in the app)
- Bill Creditsafe API usage (per your Creditsafe contract)
Getting support
- e-conomic issues — ensure the app is granted on the correct accounting agreement
- Creditsafe issues — verify production API credentials with Test Connection
- Extra tab issues — use HTTPS and the full URL from Settings
