As part of Pepperi’s integration platform, we provide a plugin that allows you to integrate data from any back office system that has an HTTP-based API (RESTful API, SOAP API etc.)

The API could either be a Cloud API or On-Premise one transferring data into Pepperi and from Pepperi into your system.

The plugin allows you to configure the transfer of data back and forth using a graphical interface which makes the plugin accessible and simple to use.

Why is it called HTTP plugin?

Understanding Pepperi’s integration platform

Who can use the HTTP Plugin?

If you are using an ERP, accounting system or any back office system that Pepperi does not have a pre-built plugin for (see a list of our plugins here: Pepperi Integrations Directory) you can use the HTTP Plugin to sync your data to Pepperi.

If your back end system exposes an API or you if you have your own home grown web services, then you can sync Pepperi with your system using Pepperi's graphical configuration tool - code free!

Why is it called HTTP plugin?

Pepperi's plugin enables you to sync with any system that "speaks" HTTP - doesn't matter if its REST/XML/JSON/SOAP or any other HTTP Request/Response type.

How does the HTTP Plugin work?

Pepperi's plugin allows you to submit HTTP GET/POST requests for querying data- item and customer data, or any other relevant sales data from your system into Pepperi and to submit (usually POST) Transactions/Activities from Pepperi to your system.

The configuration of the requests is done via a graphical user interface provided by Pepperi and accessed directly from the Pepperi Web Admin settings.

You may also configure more advanced settings to handle the data that is received from your system or sent to your system in a more sophisticated way, for example filter out certain items or customers that you do not want to import to Pepperi.

Each of the data-pulling tasks from your system to Pepperi is scheduled to run automatically at intervals that you define, while the data from Pepperi to your system is submitted in real time and the response is presented to the sales rep in the field (using WebHooks).

This guide will instruct you on how to set up the importing, exporting and scheduling of data.

Understanding Pepperi’s integration platform

This diagram desribes the relations between the different components of Peppri’s integration platform.

Integration of data from Pepperi to your back-office system is done via Webhooks triggered from Pepperi back-office to Pepperi’s internal endpoint of a “Dataflow task” configured by you, and ends up in an immediate response returned to the mobile app or web app and in a transaction log that you can view and track.

Integration of data from your back-office system to Pepperi is done via batch uploads of data triggered by Pepperi’s integration platform Shceduled Jobs that executes 1 or many “Dataflow tasks” configured by you, and ends up in a batch upload to Pepperi and in an execution log that you can view and track.
