Automate data flows
Scheduled workflows for bulk data, events and webhooks for the things that cannot wait.
Once a connection exists, the day-to-day question is when data moves. Two mechanisms cover it, and mixing them up costs money that is avoidable.
Workflows are for volume on a schedule: the nightly product feed, the hourly price update, the catalog export. They have retries, error handling and a run history, which is what you want when 60,000 records are involved.
Events and webhooks are for a single thing that has happened and cannot wait for tonight, such as an order that has to reach the ERP now. They are fast, and they are delivery attempts rather than guarantees, so anything that must not be lost needs a reconciliation run behind it.
- Build a workflow: Integration Studio, triggers, nodes and actions.
- Events and webhooks: react when something happens.
