Yes, Makini provides extensive customization options for field mappings. Through the connection settings interface, you can view how each system's fields map to Makini's unified model. You can remap fields, add custom field mappings, or create entirely new custom fields that will appear in API responses. These customizations are connection-specific, allowing different mapping configurations for different customers. Mapping changes take effect immediately without requiring code changes. For standardized workflows, default mappings typically provide sufficient coverage. Custom mappings are most useful when integrating with heavily customized systems or when you need fields beyond the standard unified model.
Webhooks allow Makini to notify your application of events in real-time. To set up webhooks, configure a webhook URL in your connection settings or during the initial connection flow. Your webhook endpoint must accept POST requests, respond within 10 seconds with a 200 status code, and use HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Makini will send webhook payloads to your endpoint when configured events occur, such as sync completion, connection status changes, or errors requiring attention. We recommend keeping your webhook receiver lightweight—ideally just writing the payload to a queue for asynchronous processing—to avoid timeouts and ensure reliable delivery.
Customers connect systems through Makini's authentication module, which provides a simple, guided connection flow. The process typically takes 2-5 minutes: Select the system from our list of 2,000+ products. Enter connection details (usually just the instance URL and credentials). Authorize the connection. Makini validates credentials and establishes the connection. The connection flow is designed for non-technical users and can be embedded directly in your application, allowing customers to connect without leaving your product. For systems requiring additional setup (like API token generation), we provide step-by-step guidance within the connection flow. Customers see real-time feedback during connection, and if any issues occur, clear error messages guide them to resolution.
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.
