Visma Economic

Visma e-conomic (branded Visma Economic) is a Nordic cloud accounting and bookkeeping platform that manages customers, invoices, products, and accounting entries. Nexla connects to the e-conomic REST API to ingest accounting data such as invoices, accounts, customers, and products, and to write records like customers, products, and draft invoices back into e-conomic.

Power end-to-end data operations for your Visma Economic API with Nexla. Our bi-directional Visma Economic connector is purpose-built for Visma Economic, making it simple to ingest data, sync it across systems, and deliver it anywhere — all with no coding required. Nexla turns API-sourced data into ready-to-use, reusable data products and makes it easy to send data to Visma Economic or any other destination. With comprehensive monitoring, lineage tracking, and access controls, Nexla keeps your Visma Economic workflows fast, secure, and fully governed.

Prerequisites

Before creating a Visma Economic credential, you need an API key that authorizes access to your e-conomic agreement's data through the e-conomic REST API. Nexla sends this key as a bearer token in the Authorization header of every request.

To obtain your API key, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your e-conomic account, or ask your e-conomic administrator to grant access on your behalf.

2. Register or connect an app for API access through the e-conomic developer portal at https://www.e-conomic.com/developer. e-conomic issues tokens that grant an app access to a specific agreement's data.

3. Obtain the API token that will be used to authenticate requests. Store it securely, as it grants access to your accounting data and should be treated as a secret.

For full details on the e-conomic REST API, available resources, and authentication, refer to the e-conomic REST API documentation.

Authenticate

Credentials required

Authenticate to Visma Economic.

Field	Required	Secret	Description
API Key	Yes	Yes	API key used to authenticate requests to the Visma Economic API.

Create a credential in Nexla

1. After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

2. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

3. Enter your Visma Economic API key in the API Key field. Nexla sends this key as a bearer token in the Authorization header for all requests to the e-conomic REST API, so it must be kept confidential.

   If your API key is compromised, revoke it through the e-conomic developer portal and issue a new one. The API key grants access to your accounting data and should be treated as sensitive information.

   For detailed information about the e-conomic REST API, available resources, and authentication, see the e-conomic REST API documentation.

4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation.

Use as a data source

To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the Visma Economic connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the Visma Economic instance, and click Next; or, create a new Visma Economic credential for use in this flow.

Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu to retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched. Sample data will be displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.

Manual configuration

Visma Economic data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid e-conomic REST API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom request parameters. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new Visma Economic data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.

Use as a destination

Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the Visma Economic destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the Visma Economic connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to the Visma Economic account, and click Next; or, create a new Visma Economic credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure destinations to send data to common Visma Economic endpoints. 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 Customer

This endpoint template creates a new customer record in Visma Economic using records from a Nexset. Use this template when you need to automatically add customers based on data from your Nexla flows.

Each record from your Nexset is sent as JSON in the request body to create a customer. The record structure must match the format expected by the e-conomic REST API. For detailed information about customer creation and required fields, see the e-conomic REST API documentation.

Update Customer

This endpoint template updates an existing customer in Visma Economic, identified by customer number. Provide the customer number of the record to update.

Delete Customer

This endpoint template deletes an existing customer in Visma Economic, identified by customer number. Provide the customer number of the record to delete.

This endpoint requires a Customer Number parameter identifying the customer to delete. Deleting a customer is irreversible, so verify the customer number before activating this destination. For detailed information about deleting customers, see the e-conomic REST API documentation.

Manual configuration

Visma Economic destinations can also be manually configured to send data to any valid e-conomic REST API endpoint. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, data format, endpoint URL, request headers, attribute exclusions, record batching, and response webhooks.

The e-conomic REST API expects JSON format for write operations. For update or delete operations, include the identifier of the object to be modified as required by the endpoint.

Save & activate
