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 implements automatic retry logic for failed webhook deliveries. If your endpoint is unavailable or returns an error status code, we retry delivery with exponentially increasing intervals starting at 30 seconds. Retries continue for up to 24 hours. If delivery ultimately fails, the webhook is logged but not delivered. You can view failed webhooks in the Makini dashboard and manually retry them. To prevent webhook loss during extended downtime, implement a polling backup strategy—periodically check the sync status and query for recent changes if no webhooks have been received within the expected time window. Design your webhook receiver to be idempotent, as retry logic may result in duplicate deliveries.
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.
Makini takes a defense-in-depth approach to security. All data in transit uses TLS 1.2 or higher. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. Customer credentials are encrypted using secure key management with separate encryption keys per customer. We implement network segmentation, strict access controls, and follow the principle of least privilege. Our infrastructure undergoes regular security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments. We're SOC 2 Type 2 certified, demonstrating our commitment to security controls. Employee access to production systems is logged and monitored. For customers with strict compliance requirements, we offer self-hosted deployments where data never leaves your infrastructure, eliminating Makini as a data processor.
