Linking to MYOB data

[natewallis]

Hi, 

I am currently writing an integration for our eCommerce platform that doesn't currently have a native addon.. 

The workflow that I have come up with for the addon is to link elements of the data in our eCommerce platform to data in MYOB..

E.g Administrators in our platform would be linked to an employee on the Payroll in MYOB so that invoices created via the API platform are assigned to the correct sales person

I have little MYOB knowledge, so I am wondering what is the safest attribute to link to that the API would return for resources like Employees or Inventory items. 

On my end, I will be storing a one to one mapping in our databse between the administrator id and whatever value is recommended to refer to... currently I am thinking 'uid'

Does anyone have any recommendations for this?

Hi,

a good place to start is here:

It will guide you through the various features and functions of the API.

Hi @natewallis,

Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you are looking to create Employee's which will be used as the Salesperson for your invoices. Here is the link to the Employee Endpoint documentation to do this via the API. 

If you are looking to create inventory items via the API, please refer to our Inventory documentation.

Please feel free to contact us at developers@myob.com if you have any further queries.

Thanks,
Jacob
