Connection-specific errors often relate to system configuration, permissions, or connectivity issues. Common scenarios include: the system is offline or unreachable, credentials have expired, API rate limits on the source system, or permission changes in the source system. Use the connection status endpoint to check connection health before making API calls. Implement circuit breaker patterns—if a connection repeatedly fails, temporarily stop making requests to avoid cascading failures. Log connection-specific errors separately to identify problematic connections. When errors occur, check if the issue affects all operations or specific entity types, which helps narrow down permission or configuration issues. For on-premises systems, verify network connectivity and firewall rules. Contact support if connection errors persist, providing the connection ID and affected operations.
For bulk operations, we recommend batch processing with appropriate rate limiting and error handling. Makini Flows provides built-in batch processing capabilities with configurable batch sizes, delays between batches, and error handling. For API-based bulk operations, implement pagination when retrieving large datasets—our API returns results in pages with continuation tokens for fetching subsequent pages. When writing large volumes of data, break operations into smaller batches (typically 50-100 records per batch) with delays between batches to avoid overwhelming the target system. Implement comprehensive error logging to identify which specific records fail in a batch. For very large operations (thousands of records), consider asynchronous processing patterns where you queue operations and process them in the background.
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.
No. For M2M setup, both "Authorization Flow" and "Authorization Code Grant" should be unchecked. Only "Client Credentials (Machine To Machine) Grant" should be checked, along with the required scopes (Restlets and REST Web Services).
