External Accounts Sync

💬 General Discussion
1

Is there any mechanism within SuiteCRM (or a module available) which would provide functionality to enable syncing Accounts with data from an external system via HTTP/XML API calls?

I’m looking for ways to sync BSS/OSS information in to SuiteCRM in semi-real time (e.g. a fively cron would be sufficient.)

Welcome to community!

I don’t see any problems. You can use schedule:

The referenced documentation covers the scheduler for being able to insert tasks, but it looks like the entire thing would have to be programmed in PHP for fetching the external data, then updating the internal Accounts.

This is beyond the scope of my limited programming capabilities; I am trying to identify a mechanism or plugin that can do so without significant programming requirements.

  1. You can look at store of SuiteCRM:
    https://store.suitecrm.com/suitecrm-modules
  2. I think that there isn’t universal HTTP/XML API. It’s format data only. Which system do you want integrate with SuiteCRM?
  3. I know model BSS/OSS well. If you give some more information about external system I will write more details.
