Integration timelines vary by complexity. For standard implementations with no customizations, connections can be live within 1-2 weeks. This includes authentication setup and basic workflow configuration. For implementations requiring custom workflows or specific business logic, timelines typically range from 2-6 weeks depending on the scope. Complex enterprise deployments with multiple systems and custom requirements may take 6-10 weeks. These timelines are significantly shorter than traditional integration projects, which often take 2-24 months.
All API requests require authentication via bearer token. After successfully connecting a system through Makini's authentication module, you receive an API token. Include this token in the Authorization header of your requests: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN`. Each connection has a unique token, allowing you to manage multiple customer connections independently. Tokens remain valid as long as the underlying system credentials are valid and the connection is active. If a customer changes their system credentials, you'll need to reconnect to obtain a new token.
The initial sync occurs when you first connect a system and retrieves historical data to establish a baseline. This includes records from a configurable time period (typically 30-90 days) and can take several minutes to hours depending on data volume. Initial syncs are complete snapshots of the requested data. Incremental syncs occur on subsequent runs and retrieve only records created or modified since the last successful sync. Makini tracks sync timestamps and uses them to query for changes efficiently. Incremental syncs are much faster, usually completing in seconds to minutes. This approach minimizes API load on source systems while keeping your data current.
Yes, customers can connect as many systems as needed. Each connection is independent with its own API token, allowing you to manage multiple ERP systems, CMMS platforms, or other integrations for a single customer. This is common in organizations with multiple subsidiaries, regional systems, or during migration periods when legacy and new systems run in parallel. Each connection consumes connection credits based on the system type and deployment model. There's no technical limit on the number of connections per customer. For customers using multiple instances of the same system (like regional SAP instances), each instance requires a separate connection with its own credentials and token.
