First thing we need to take into account is that within AFAS there is a distinction between sending data to an environment and retrieving data from an environment. To send data to AFAS we use UpdateConnectors. To retrieve data from AFAS we use GetConnectors.

UpdateConnectors are native to AFAS, these do not have to be created/uploaded by the customer. They will have to be selected during the creation of the AppConnector which will be explained later.

The two UpdateConnectors we need to be able to send data to AFAS are the following:

GetConnectors are not native to AFAS and provide users of the platform the freedom to create these connectors for their specific use case. These are used to retrieve/check debtor information and whether it already exists in AFAS or not.

For the correct processing of debtors, Omniboost has created two GetConnectors that we require to receive information from AFAS (OMNI_countries and OMNI_sales_relation, see attachment). These must be added to the AFAS environment.

A description of this process can be found in the following article:

The next step is to create the AppConnector for Omniboost.
This process is described in the following article:
​https://help.afas.nl/help/NL/SE/120718.htm

During Step 6 in the article, the aforementioned GetConnectors must be added.

During Step 8, the following UpdateConnectors must be selected:

In Steps 9 and 10, it is important to copy and save the token as it is necessary for Omniboost to transmit your financial data to AFAS once your integration has been built. You will be asked to provide this information during your Omniboost onboarding.
