Setting up your first integration without a connector package

Once we have learned how to set up an integration using a connector package, we can delve into how to set up an integration without using a connector package. The process is very similar:

We begin by creating an incoming and outgoing configuration.

The name of the incoming configuration is usually the platform where the data comes from, for example, the name of your ERP, PIM, CRM system, etc. Below the name field, you will see that the identifier generates itself.

Below, we find the “Subscriber” field. The subscriber is how we “talk” to System A, and it can be anything from a database to a file system, SOAP, GraphQL, etc. Usually, however, we want to “talk” to an HTTP Subscriber.

Below the subscriber, we find the “Request URI” field, and we can fill it in with the full URL of the API endpoint we wish to talk to.
