Destination

Nexla's bi-directional connectors allow data to flow both to and from any location, making it simple to create a FlexFlow, DB-CDC, Spark ETL, or Replication data flow that sends data to a ManagerPlus location.

ManagerPlus

Create a ManagerPlus Destination​

  1. Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the ManagerPlus destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu.

  2. Select the ManagerPlus connector from the list of available destination connectors. Then, select the credential that will be used to connect to your ManagerPlus account, and click Next; or, create a new ManagerPlus credential for use in this flow.

  3. In Nexla, ManagerPlus destinations can be created using pre-built endpoint templates, which expedite destination setup for common ManagerPlus endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding ManagerPlus endpoint, making destination configuration easy and efficient.
    • To configure this destination using a template, follow the instructions in Configure Using a Template.

    ManagerPlus destinations can also be configured manually, allowing you to send data to ManagerPlus endpoints not included in the pre-built templates or apply further customizations to exactly suit your needs.
    • To configure this destination manually, follow the instructions in Configure Manually.

Configure Using a Template​

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure destinations to send data to common ManagerPlus endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding ManagerPlus endpoint, making destination setup easy and efficient.

  • To configure this destination using a template, select the endpoint to which data will be sent from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Then, click on the template in the list below to expand it, and follow the instructions to configure additional endpoint settings.

    Create new

    This endpoint template creates a new resource entry in your ManagerPlus account, such as a new Address, Employee, Work Order, Asset, or other resource type. Use this template when you need to create new records in ManagerPlus from your data flow.

    • Enter the resource type in the Resource type field. This should be the name of the ManagerPlus resource you want to create, such as Addresses, Employees, WorkOrders, Assets, or any other available resource type. The resource type is used to construct the API endpoint URL (e.g., https://bulktransportcorp.managerpluscloud.com/api2/Addresses). Ensure you use the exact resource type name as defined in the ManagerPlus API.

    This endpoint sends data as JSON in the request body to create a new resource entry in ManagerPlus. The data structure must match the ManagerPlus API's expected format for the specified resource type. Ensure your data flow provides the required fields for the resource type you're creating.

    For detailed information about available resource types, API endpoints, required fields, and data formats, see the ManagerPlus API documentation.

Configure Manually​

ManagerPlus destinations can be manually configured to send data to any valid ManagerPlus API endpoint. Manual configuration provides maximum flexibility for accessing endpoints not covered by pre-built templates or when you need custom API configurations.

With manual configuration, you can also create more complex ManagerPlus destinations, such as destinations that send data to multiple endpoints or destinations that require custom request headers or parameters.

API Method​

  1. To manually configure this destination, select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen.

  2. Select the API method that will be used for calls to the ManagerPlus API from the Method pulldown menu. ManagerPlus API typically uses POST method for creating new resources.

API Endpoint URL​

  1. Enter the URL of the ManagerPlus API endpoint to which data will be sent in the Set API URL field. This should be the complete URL including the protocol (https://), your ManagerPlus instance URL, the API path (/api2/), and the resource type (e.g., https://bulktransportcorp.managerpluscloud.com/api2/Addresses).

Ensure the API endpoint URL is correct and accessible with your current credentials. The ManagerPlus API endpoint URL should point to the specific resource type you want to create or update. You can test the endpoint using the Test button after configuring the URL.

Request Body​

  1. Configure the request body that will be sent to the ManagerPlus API. The request body should contain the data to be created or updated in ManagerPlus, formatted as JSON. The request body format is typically {message.json} which sends the entire Nexset data as JSON.

The request body must be valid JSON and must match the ManagerPlus API's expected format for the specified resource type. Ensure your data flow provides the required fields for the resource type you're creating. The data structure must match the ManagerPlus API's expected format. For detailed information about required fields and data formats, see the ManagerPlus API documentation.

Save the Destination​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Next button to proceed with the rest of the data flow configuration, or click Save to save the destination configuration for later use.
