Fusion Manage integration with ERP

Hi All,
I have been trying out Fusion Manage API's with respect to integrating item data with an ERP system. Is it possible to update data in the ERP using an item creation action script? Any direction or guideline would be helpful.

If the ERP system provides a REST API, this would work. However, I would not recommend this approach as the script runtime has a maximum runtime of 9 seconds - and you do not know how long the API request will need to finish. In addition, in case of failures you will neither have proper logging nor job repetition. In my opinion, it is better to use an integration platform which gets triggered by webhooks in Fusion Manage (see https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/webhooks/v1/reference/events/flc_events).

I agree that asynchronous communication with ERP is the way to go. 

 

There is a good example in the online help on how to set up the webhooks with Zapier - https://help.autodesk.com/view/PLM/ENU/?guid=WH-WEBHOOK-INTRO .

 

Typically publication to ERP is done when the item is released (as opposed to creation as you suggested).
