When customers change their system credentials, the existing Makini connection will lose access and workflows will begin failing with authentication errors. Makini provides webhook notifications when connections require reauthorization, allowing you to proactively notify customers. Customers can reconnect by logging into the system through Makini's authentication flow again, which issues a new API token. The reconnection process takes only a few minutes. Best practice is to implement connection health monitoring and automated alerts when connections require attention, so you can address issues before they impact operations.
Makini maintains a comprehensive data model built from analyzing thousands of industrial systems. When data flows through Makini, we automatically transform it from the source system's format into our standardized structure. For example, purchase orders from SAP, NetSuite, and Dynamics all return with consistent field names, data types, and structures. This normalization happens in real-time as data passes through the API. You also have access to raw data if needed for specific use cases. The unified model covers common entities like purchase orders, work orders, inventory items, vendors, and assets, with extensive field coverage across systems.
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 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.
