The integration will allow you to create new orders or clients in Ecwid based on data from other systems. For example, you can transfer leads from your website, landing page or Google Sheets to Ecwid and process them in one place. So you can automate the process of processing a lead or client as efficiently as possible using the different services that you use.

Let's go through the entire Ecwid setup steps together!

To do this, click "Enable update".

On the main screen, click on the gear icon to select the required update interval or set up scheduled launch. To start the connection by time, select scheduled start and specify the desired time for the connection update to be triggered, or add several options at once when you need the connection to be triggered.

Attention! In order for the scheduled run to work at the specified time, the interval between the current time and the specified time must be more than 5 minutes. For example, you select the time 12:10 and the current time is 12:08 - in this case, the automatic update of the connection will occur at 12:10 the next day. If you select the time 12:20 and the current time is 12:13 - auto-update of the connection will work today and then every day at 12:20.

To make the current connection transmit data only after another connection, check the box "Update connection only after start other connection" and specify the connection after which the current connection will be started.
