Industrial systems are often heavily customized, and Makini is built to handle this. For reading data, Makini can access virtually any field or custom table in connected systems. Through the connection settings interface, you can specify custom fields, tables, or entities to include in API responses. These show up alongside standard fields in the unified model. For custom objects not in our default model, you can request them through the interface and they'll be available immediately. For writing data, customization support varies by system but covers most common scenarios. During implementation, we work with you to identify required customizations and ensure they're properly configured before going live.
Makini sends webhooks for several event types: sync completion (successful or failed), connection authentication required (when credentials need renewal), connection status changes (online/offline), and system errors requiring attention. Each webhook payload includes the event type, timestamp, connection ID, and event-specific details like error messages or affected entities. You can configure which events trigger webhooks on a per-connection basis. For workflow-based integrations using Makini Flows, you can also set up custom webhooks triggered by specific conditions in your business logic, providing granular control over real-time notifications.
Makini provides sandbox connections for testing without affecting production systems. Sandbox connections include sample data representing common scenarios: standard purchase orders, orders with custom fields, orders in various states (draft, approved, completed), and error cases like invalid vendors or out-of-stock items. Sandbox data is read-only for safety—write operations return success responses without modifying data. This allows thorough testing of your integration logic without risk. For testing with specific systems, we recommend using dedicated test instances of the actual systems (like SAP sandbox environments) connected through Makini, which provides the most realistic testing experience.
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.
