Makini's unified API acts as a common denominator across all connected systems. We map each system's data structure to a standardized data model, exposing consistent endpoints regardless of the underlying platform. This means you write the same code to retrieve purchase orders from SAP, NetSuite, or Dynamics—the API calls and response formats are identical. You always get data in the same structure, making it easy to build consistent business logic. The unified approach eliminates the need to learn each system's unique API, manage multiple authentication methods, or handle varying data formats.
Data synchronization frequency is configurable based on your requirements. For real-time needs, Makini supports webhook-based synchronization where changes trigger immediate updates. For scheduled syncing, common intervals range from every 15 minutes to daily, depending on data volume and business requirements. The initial sync after connecting a system retrieves historical data based on your configuration—typically 30-90 days of historical records. Subsequent syncs are incremental, retrieving only records created or modified since the last sync. Sync frequency doesn't affect pricing. You can also trigger manual syncs on-demand via API when needed for specific workflows.
All Makini webhooks include a signature header for verification. The signature is an HMAC hash of the webhook payload using your webhook secret as the key. To verify a webhook, compute the HMAC using your secret and compare it to the signature header using constant-time comparison to avoid timing attacks. Never process webhook data without verification, as this could expose your system to forged requests. Your webhook secret is provided when you configure webhooks and should be stored securely. Webhook verification ensures that only legitimate requests from Makini are processed by your application.
Write operation limitations vary by system. Common limitations include: field-level restrictions (some fields may be read-only), business rule validation (orders may require certain fields or valid vendor codes), permission requirements (the connected account needs specific permissions), timing restrictions (some systems prevent modifications after certain workflow states), and rate limits on write operations. Custom fields in target systems may not be writable through standard APIs. Some systems have transactional requirements—for example, purchase order line items must be created in the same transaction as the order header. During implementation, we identify write operation limitations for your specific use cases and design workflows that work within those constraints.
