INTEGRATION EXAMPLE

Make HubSpot company data available in a MySQL table for reporting or downstream processes. The product walkthrough shows this source and target combination. You define the actual data model.

Connect a REST API to SQL: from endpoint to data process.
An API supplies data and a SQL database should make it reliably usable. The essentials go beyond a URL and table: selection, mapping, updates and error handling matter.

HubSpot and SAP: turn a qualified lead into a customer process.
Sales qualifies a lead; the ERP needs correct customer data. onflAI starts from that business intent. Feasibility depends on the SAP product, version and available interfaces, among other requirements.

From order to shipment: connect shop, ERP and logistics.
An order should not move forward through copying, exports and follow-up emails. Start by describing the desired data flow between shop, ERP and logistics, then split it into reviewable connections.

Make payment data available for accounting and reporting.
Payments, fees and refunds are different business events. An integration should map them clearly and make them available to the relevant systems, with business oversight from Finance.

Compare integration costs transparently.
The onflAI simulator compares assumed project and operating costs for 1 to 500 integrations with Flex (€99 per integration per month) or an annual Enterprise package. Here are the origin, assumptions and calculations behind the headline result.
