Connectors

Connectors


Use Connectors node to call authorized connectors to exchange data between Item systems and third-party platforms; perform a defined operation such as synchronizing data or retrieving orders.

Settings include:

  • Name: Logical identifier for the node within the flow (e.g., get-oms-inventory-data, sync-shopify-orders).

  • Primary Key: Unique identifier for the operation.

  • Authorized Connector: Specifies the integration that provides authentication and access.

  • Operator: Represents the action or function exposed by the connector (e.g., syncInventory, getOrders, createCustomer).

Scenarios

Connector nodes are essential building blocks that allow you to automate business processes like:

  • Order Sync: Pull orders from Shopify and push to item OMS.

  • Inventory Update: Retrieve stock levels from item WMS and sync to Amazon or Shopify.

  • Shipment Tracking: Send shipping data from item OMS to marketplaces or logistics platforms.

  • Other data sync flows.

Example Workflow Pattern

  • Trigger: Cron node (runs every hour)

  • Connector Node 1: Fetch orders from Amazon-FBM

  • Loop Node: Loop the entire order fetch operations

  • Python Node: Format and validate order data

  • Connector Node 2: Send formatted data to item OMS

The workflow automates real-time order syncs between platforms without manual handling. For more info, see Flow Templates.
