With Tinx Connector, you can automate follow-up actions in Business Central after a sales order is imported from your webshop. After a sales order is created in Business Central from a webshop order, there are many tasks you typically perform, such as:
- Automatically release the sales order.
- Post the order as an invoice or a shipment.
- Release the warehouse shipment.
Tinx Connector has two features that let you automate actions after order import.
- Inbound Events: A new, flexible version that offers more automation options. Use this version if you’re a new Tinx Connector user.
- Order Posting Events: A legacy version, which is still used by some companies. This functionality will be removed in a future version of Tinx Connector.
Setting up Inbound Events
Interactive walkthrough: Inbound Events
The following walkthrough demonstrates how to enable the Inbound Events feature on a sales channel.
Setting up Order Posting Events: Legacy version
In this version, order events are additional automated actions that run after a sales order is created in Business Central from a webshop order.
You configure these settings on the Sales Channel Card page, under the Order Posting Events section. You can enable one or more automated actions by selecting the relevant checkboxes.
The events are triggered based on the execution of the TINX Order Function Mgt. codeunit 11205756. This codeunit is attached to the order creation message such as WOO-087 for WooCommerce.
You can enable one or more events at the same time.
