Connecting to any system through Makini is straightforward. You select the product you want to connect to, log in with your credentials, and receive an API token. The process takes just a few clicks and works consistently across all 2,000+ supported systems. For most systems (85-90% of cases), you only need the instance URL, username, and password. Some systems may require additional steps like API token generation, and we provide detailed authentication guides for these cases. The connection experience is designed to be simple enough that non-technical users can complete it without IT support.
All Makini webhooks include a signature header for verification. The signature is an HMAC hash of the webhook payload using your webhook secret as the key. To verify a webhook, compute the HMAC using your secret and compare it to the signature header using constant-time comparison to avoid timing attacks. Never process webhook data without verification, as this could expose your system to forged requests. Your webhook secret is provided when you configure webhooks and should be stored securely. Webhook verification ensures that only legitimate requests from Makini are processed by your application.
500-level errors indicate issues on Makini's side or with the connected system. These are typically temporary and retrying the request after a brief delay often succeeds. Implement exponential backoff for retries—wait a few seconds, then progressively longer intervals. If errors persist beyond a few retries, check the Makini status page for service disruptions. The error may also stem from the connected system experiencing issues rather than Makini itself. For persistent 500 errors, contact support with the request ID from the error response. Include details about when the error started, which operations are affected, and which connections are impacted. Our support team can quickly identify whether the issue is systemic or connection-specific.
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.
