API & Integration

Accounting integration connects sales, POS, ecommerce, or ops systems to the ledger through APIs, mappings, controls, and reconciliation—not blind data dumps.

AutoCount API integration connects ecommerce, POS, or custom apps to AutoCount through authenticated API calls, mappings, and controlled document posting.

API integration connects software systems so they can exchange data and trigger actions automatically through documented application programming interfaces.

APIs let software request and send data through defined endpoints, methods, authentication, and response formats—forming the backbone of modern integrations.

A webhook is an event-driven HTTP callback: when something happens in one system, it pushes a notification payload to a URL you control.

APIs are request/response interfaces you call; webhooks are event push notifications. Learn when to use each—and how they work together.

Data mapping defines how fields, codes, and values in one system correspond to another so integrations transfer meaning—not just raw text.

Data synchronization keeps information consistent across systems over time—through one-way or two-way updates, conflict rules, and reconciliation.

POS-to-accounting integration posts sales, tender types, and related stock movements into accounting so daily takings match the ledger without spreadsheet rekeying.

Middleware is a hub between applications that routes and transforms data so systems integrate without brittle point-to-point sprawl—when a hub is worth it.

Middleware runtime: authenticate, transform, call targets with retries and idempotency, quarantine bad messages, and log enough to replay safely.

Decision matrix for middleware hubs vs direct API links—plus a concrete ecommerce, POS, and accounting scenario to choose the right pattern.

WhatsApp–CRM integration connects conversations to customer records so teams share context, assign owners, and track follow-ups without losing chat history.

WhatsApp invoice automation uses chat as the intake channel—media, shared inbox, and case creation—then hands off to OCR and AP workflow controls.
