Makini is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and undergoes penetration testing twice annually. We use industry-standard encryption protocols including TLS 1.2+ for data in transit and AES-256 for data at rest. Customer credentials are encrypted using secure key management practices. Our infrastructure follows security best practices including network segmentation, access controls, and regular security audits. For highly regulated industries or customers with strict compliance requirements, we offer self-hosted deployment options that keep all data within your infrastructure. We've successfully met security requirements for enterprises including financial institutions and government contractors.
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.
Makini monitors connection health continuously and provides multiple ways to detect reauthorization needs. The connection status endpoint returns the current state including whether reauthorization is required. Makini sends webhooks when connections enter a state requiring reauthorization, allowing proactive notification. API requests to a connection requiring reauthorization return specific error codes prompting reconnection. The Makini dashboard displays connection status across all customers. Best practice is to implement webhook listeners for connection status changes and proactively notify customers when reauthorization is needed, rather than waiting for operations to fail. Include clear instructions on how to reconnect in your notification.
