Middleware Integration Overview
Article Summary
Section titled “Article Summary”TaprNext supports middleware integration patterns for connecting to unsupported or custom ERP systems. The documentation outlines four primary approaches:
Integration Options:
- Direct integration (native adapters)
- Webhook push notifications
- REST API pull requests
- iPaaS middleware platforms
Key Integration Patterns
Section titled “Key Integration Patterns”The guide presents a comparison table recommending webhooks for “Real-time push, simple integration” with low complexity, while REST APIs suit “Scheduled pull, batch processing” scenarios. iPaaS solutions offer no-code workflows with medium complexity, and custom adapters handle “Complex logic, high volume” needs.
Data Flow
Section titled “Data Flow”Outbound Process: When invoices receive approval, TaprNext triggers an event, sends data via webhook or API, middleware transforms the information, and the invoice posts to the ERP with status confirmation.
Inbound Process: External systems call the TaprNext API or TaprNext pulls via an adapter to import vendor and PO data for matching.
Security & Performance
Section titled “Security & Performance”Authentication methods include API keys, OAuth 2.0, and HMAC signatures. The platform enforces HTTPS-only communication and implements rate limits of “100 requests per minute per API key” with burst capacity of 20 per second. Webhook endpoints must respond within 30 seconds with automatic retry mechanisms.
The documentation provides links to detailed setup guides for each integration method.
