Web Services is built using the Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation framework that is SOAP-based and implements WS-Security standards. Appian can accept order pushes or accounts utilizing our web services APIs.

 

Some benefits of using web services integration include:

  • Seamless order importing with no user interaction
  • The ability for near real-time data exchange
  • Orders sent via web services can contain as much or as little information as the ERP/WMS/OMS can send
  • Any missing information will automatically be appended from the Account Master record

 

Description Language (WSDL)

The following Request Methods Table describes some, but not all, of the import methods available via web services and the expected return response. The primary web service calls utilized by most customers are ImportOrders and ImportAccounts.
