I found in the FAQs of the 1800wxbrief.com website that there is a way for partners (iFly) to link my filed flight plans to my 800wxbrief.com account. If this isn't already available in iFly could this be added so I can utilize the email/text notifications, briefings, etc. within that service? If this is already available please let me know how to set it up. Thanks.

When I file my flight plan with one of your partners, why don’t I see the flight on my Pilot Dashboard page?
Some partners submit flight plans without associating them with a Pilot website account. These flight plans are successfully filed and are available to our specialists. To obtain support for one of these flight plans please call a specialist. You may check with your service provider to see if they plan to add support for filing flight plans associated with website accounts in the future.

On the 1800Wxbrief site, go to Account->Service Provider Authorization.  Hit 'Edit'.  Scroll down to 'iFlyGPS' and click 'yes'.

Thanks Dave. I do have that setting enabled already in 1800wxbrief.com. On my next flight plan I'll test filing through iFly again and see if it automatically shows up over there.

Meanwhile, I'll try to connect with iFly support to see if they can provide more details on what method they would use to connect it to my Leidos account. Unless I missed it I don't see a setting in iFly to provide my Leidos account ID or anything like that.

Did you set 'Account Name' to your 1800WxBrief login ID on the Online Filing screen?

Just did this and works for me.

Sorry, I typed a response to this yesterday and got distracted before I hit Submit.

Dave hit the nail on the head, those are the two things you need to do. Account name on the Online Filing form, and authorize iFly as a service provider on 1800wxbrief.com.
