Integration with Priority ERP

Question

Does anyone have any experience with doing integration an ERP like priority? I found this https://prioritysoftware.github.io/restapi/ which looks like REST API for interacting with Priority. We would need Quickbase to push information to Priority and perhaps also pull information.

I want to know what level of effort something like this requires or if there is already something built that can handle this.

Thanks

I would say a decent amount of effort. The thing about Quickbase is it does not allow you to see the payload from an API response. So you need to have a server, or a middleman software to manipulate responses between Quickbase and priority ERP.

The things that are simple that Quickbase can do. You can use a webhook to hit an endpoint using XML or JSON to send data. (you will not get response, EX: if your first step in the API is to receive an auth token)

You can allow a 3rd party to post into your APP with a userToken/appToken and field_ID numbers and your Quickbase domain URL.

Thanks. Do you know of any apps that accomplish something like this already built? Maybe they can get us halfway there.

I use Zapier for all of my API integrations I have setup with QuickBase right now. Very simple and easy to use.

Why is zapier&nbsp;superior to just using the native quickbase&nbsp;webhooks?

johnrogers3 · Answer

Because there are very few limitations that Dan knows better than I, that allow responses through URL response. Without that, you cannot access a payload that shows a response to filter without a middleman (Zapier or your own server). Quickbase Webhook will take an action and send data based on the action.Most APIs require an auth step, usually known as a Bearer token response, to resend the API with an authorized action. The native Quickbase webhook cannot receive the response to .parse() to place into a bearer token. So Zapier handles this. I can get into more detail if you need, email me JRogers@zoisolar.com
