Overview

This functions using the following process:

Infigo retrieves a sample estimate request from Tharstern with default values provided and transferred via JSON file.

Using the UI or advanced configuration settings seen in this tutorial, we overwrite certain parts of that estimate then return it to Tharstern.

You set up the mapping for each product variantAn area in the specification of each Infigo Product, generally concerned with the technical elements of the Product. from the Product ManagementAn area of Infigo where administrators can create, edit or delete products on a Storefront. screen, using the Connect LinkThe Connect Link popup (opened via the green Connect Link button found throughout Infigo admin) is where an administrator maps an Infigo record — such as a Product Variant, Customer, Department or... button. After you choose the Tharstern product and its parts and processes, you can adjust the estimate request mapping in the advanced configuration. Then you save it with Save External Reference.

What you'll be able to do

  • Open the Connect Link settings for a product variant from the Product Management screen.
  • Link a product variant to a Tharstern product and choose whether to use Tharstern estimate pricing.
  • Pull through Tharstern parts and processes with Save External Reference, then select the ones you need.
  • Click Toggle Advanced Configuration and amend the estimate request mapping after finishing your part and process settings.
  • Apply the finished mapping by clicking Save External Reference.

Before you begin

  • Configure the Tharstern integration settings first so your Tharstern products appear in the list.

    Wherever a green Connect Link button is seen, we are able to configure a connection to a connected system, in this case Tharstern.

    We will see the Connect Link button in multiple locations throughout Infigo.

    This instance of the Connect Link button allows us to configure a mapping between Infigo and Tharstern for an individual product.

Video transcript

0:12 In this tutorial, we'll learn how to map products

0:15 between Infigo and Tharstern using the Connect Tharstern plugin.

0:20 So how this works, Infigo.

0:22 will initially retrieve a sample estimate request from Tharstern

0:26 with default values provided and transferred

0:29 via JSON file

0:32 using the user interface or advanced configuration settings

0:35 that will see in this particular tutorial, we can overwrite certain parts

0:39 of that estimate and then return it to Tharstern.

0:45 The first thing we want to do is to actually navigate

0:48 to the product that we want to set up the link for.

0:51 So we'll begin by going to the product management screen

0:59 and then locating one of the products

1:01 that we want to link.

1:10 Now we set up this link on a product variant basis,

1:13 so you want to click on the plus icon next to your relevant product.

1:18 And then wherever you see this connect link icon,

1:21 that's where you can set up a link between Infigo

1:24 and a third party system.

1:29 So when you click the Connect link

1:30 button, a pop up will be displayed with the Connect settings.

1:34 For this product variant.

1:40 All we have to do

1:41 is to begin typing the name of our product

1:44 and then select it from the filtered list of products.

1:48 So you'll see there, if I click on this external ID box

1:51 based on the settings we've already configured

1:54 as part of the Tharstern integration, all of our product

1:58 details are now being drawn through.

2:07 From there, I can select the

2:08 relevant product,

2:10 relevant product,

2:11 specify whether or not I want to use live pricing for this product

2:17 and then hit save external reference.

2:31 This will pull through the parts

2:33 and processes for this product from Tharstern.

2:37 From here we just need to select the parts

2:40 and processes that you wish to use for this particular product.

2:43 So, for example, we can select a finished size

2:47 and we can specify any of the processes

2:49 that we want to utilize.

2:52 that we want to utilize.

2:54 And then further down from here, we can see the parts,

2:58 select the parts and the processes you wish to use for this product.

3:05 So clicking toggle advanced configuration will reveal another couple of settings

3:10 here.

3:14 Now the estimate request mapping that's displayed here has been generated

3:18 from the part and process options that we've seen further up the screen.

3:22 So all the selection options that we have available here

3:31 now, the code

3:32 that's in here is completely configurable.

3:35 So this means that if any additional mapping is required,

3:38 the user can make additional changes.

3:44 But word of warning, if you are planning to use the

3:47 manual modification of the estimate request mapping,

3:51 it's highly recommended that you complete configuring the process and part settings

3:57 prior to modifying the advanced configuration settings.

4:00 If you change any of the process settings

4:03 discussed further up the screen, once you've started making changes

4:08 to the estimate request mapping, it will request it.

4:12 It will refresh the JSON script.

4:14 So any changes that you've made to this mapping will be lost.

4:23 And then right at the bottom of the screen, we also have the product type.

4:27 JSON.

4:28 This is primarily debugging information retrieved straight

4:31 from the Tharstern and system.

4:33 Then apply the mapping by going further up page and clicking save

4:37 external reference.
