Technical Integration Details & Flow

Our iPaaS provides the technical backbone for a robust, secure, and scalable integration between Dynamics AX and Walmart Marketplace. It acts as the intelligent middleware, handling all data translation, orchestration, and error management.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Connectivity: Establish authenticated connections to Dynamics AX (via AIF services using Windows Integrated Auth/Certificates) and Walmart Marketplace (via OAuth 2.0).

Event & Data Capture: Configure triggers within the iPaaS to listen for new orders from Walmart (polling `/v3/orders` efficiently) and for inventory/product changes from Dynamics AX (e.g., database triggers, AIF services).

AI-Powered Data Mapping & Transformation: Utilize the visual mapping canvas with AI suggestions to transform raw data from the source system into the target system's required format and schema. This includes data enrichment, aggregation, and conditional logic.

Workflow Orchestration: Design multi-step workflows to automate business processes, such as creating a Sales Order in AX from a Walmart order, then updating inventory in Walmart, and finally pushing shipment tracking back.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement robust error handling with automatic retries, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts. Monitor integration health and performance via centralized dashboards.

Deployment & Governance: Deploy integration flows to production environments with version control and promotion pipelines (Dev -> QA -> Prod) to ensure stability and reliability.

Data Touchpoints

Walmart Marketplace: Orders, Items, Inventory, Price, Shipments, Returns.
Dynamics AX: Sales Orders, Customers, Products (Items), Inventory Journals, General Ledger Journals, Invoices.

"The integration flow typically starts with an event on Walmart Marketplace (e.g., new order). The iPaaS captures this, transforms the data using AI-assisted mapping, and then creates the corresponding Sales Order in Dynamics AX. Subsequent events in AX (e.g., inventory change, shipment confirmation) are captured by the iPaaS, transformed, and pushed back to Walmart (e.g., inventory update, order status update). This creates a continuous, bi-directional data exchange."
