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.
Makini provides several debugging tools. The dashboard shows detailed request logs including request/response payloads, headers, status codes, and timing. Each API request generates a unique request ID included in responses—provide this when contacting support for faster investigation. For workflow-based integrations, Makini Flows includes execution logs showing each step's input/output, timing, and any errors. Connection health monitoring shows sync history, error rates, and connection status over time. API responses include detailed error information with error codes and messages. For development, we recommend using API clients like Postman or Insomnia to interactively test API calls and inspect responses. Our API documentation includes request/response examples for all endpoints.
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.
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.
