Technical Integration Overview: Bridging Dynamics AX and BigCommerce

Our iPaaS acts as the intelligent middleware, orchestrating seamless, secure, and performant data exchange between the robust backend of Dynamics AX and the agile frontend of BigCommerce. We leverage the strengths of both platforms' APIs and eventing models to build resilient integrations.

Data Flow Steps

1. Secure Connectivity: Establish secure API connections using OAuth 2.0 for BigCommerce and secure service accounts/certificates for Dynamics AX AIF services.

2. Event-Driven Triggers: Utilize BigCommerce webhooks (e.g., `ordercreated`, `productupdated`) for real-time initiation of workflows. For Dynamics AX, leverage custom services, database triggers, or optimized polling for changes.

3. Data Extraction: Extract relevant data entities (e.g., BigCommerce Order, Dynamics AX Sales Order) using their respective APIs/services.

4. AI-Powered Mapping & Transformation: Our visual iPaaS editor, augmented by AI, maps source fields to target fields, applying complex transformations, aggregations, and business logic to ensure data compatibility.

5. Validation & Enrichment: Data is validated against business rules and schemas. AI detects anomalies, flags inconsistencies, and can enrich data where appropriate (e.g., address validation).

6. Target System Ingestion: Transformed data is securely pushed to the target system via its API/services (e.g., creating a Sales Order in AX, updating inventory in BigCommerce).

7. Error Handling & Monitoring: Robust error handling with intelligent retries, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts ensure data integrity and operational continuity. Centralized dashboards provide end-to-end visibility.

Data Touchpoints

BigCommerce: Orders, Products, Customers, Inventory, Shipments, Payments, Webhook Events.
Dynamics AX: Sales Order, Customer, Product (Item), Inventory Journal, Invoice, General Ledger Journal, Vendor, Purchase Order.
