Last mile integration using the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Starter Kit
Learn about items to consider when starting the last-mile integration with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Commerce with a focus on using extensibility hooks to enhance connectivity with third-party systems. This video outlines a structured approach where various hooks such as validation, transformation, preprocessing, sending, and post-processing ensure seamless data flow and system synchronization. Each hook serves a distinct purpose, including:
- Validating incoming data against schemas
- Transforming data objects between systems
- Performing calculations before sending relevant information
- Sending the data to the destination system
It is important to maintain separate JavaScript files for each block to uphold business logic integrity and facilitate future framework upgrades, ensuring a robust and adaptable integration setup.
Learn about the significance of post-processing activities through the post process hook, which enables users to perform additional actions after data synchronization, such as adding comments to orders or storing external IDs. The video includes best practices like encapsulating API requests within specific libraries to streamline connections with third-party systems. You will also learn typical use cases for each hook and guidance on handling different scenarios.
