Makini Flows is our embedded workflow automation platform, built on n8n, which we consider the best workflow automation tool available. It's fully integrated into Makini and runs on our infrastructure. Flows allows you to build complex integration logic using a visual workflow builder—no code required, though code is supported for advanced use cases. Workflows can be triggered by schedules, webhooks, API calls, or events from connected systems. You can perform data transformations, implement conditional logic, call external APIs, and orchestrate multi-step processes. Flows includes over 1,000 pre-built connectors beyond Makini's industrial systems, enabling integrations with databases, messaging platforms, cloud services, and more. Most customer activations are completed using Flows due to its flexibility and ease of use.
Makini provides webhook testing tools in the dashboard where you can trigger test webhook deliveries to verify your endpoint configuration. Test webhooks use sample payloads matching actual event structures. Verify your endpoint receives the webhook, validates the signature correctly, and responds with a 200 status code within 10 seconds. Test webhook retries by having your endpoint return error codes or timeout, then verify Makini retries as expected. Test duplicate handling by processing the same webhook multiple times. For local development, use tools like ngrok to expose your local endpoint for webhook testing. The webhook logs in the Makini dashboard show delivery attempts, response codes, and timing, helping debug delivery issues.
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.
Yes, Makini supports multi-region deployments for customers requiring data residency in specific regions or needing high availability across geographies. Each region runs an independent instance of Makini with its own infrastructure, ensuring data remains within the specified region. Multi-region deployments are most common for self-hosted installations where customers want instances in multiple AWS regions or data centers. For cloud deployments, we can discuss region-specific hosting based on your requirements. Multi-region support ensures compliance with data localization regulations and provides geographic redundancy for mission-critical integrations.
