SAP Open Connectors

WooCommerce Events

SAP Open Connectors supports events via polling or webhooks depending on the API provider. For more information about our Events framework, see Events Overview.

Supported Events and Resources

SAP Open Connectors supports polling events and webhooks for WooCommerce.

Polling

You can configure polling through the UI or in the JSON body of the /instances API request .

Note: Unless configured for a specific time zone, polling occurs in UTC.

You can set up polling events for the following resources:

  • customers
  • discounts
  • orders
  • products
Note: You can set up polling for other resources that include created, updated, and deleted data through our API. Copy the configuration of one of the default resources, and replace the name with the resource that you want to poll.

Configure Polling Through the UI

For more information about each field described here, see Polling Parameters.

To configure polling through the UI, follow the same steps to authenticate a connector instance, and then turn on events. Select the resources to poll, and then click Create Instance. For more information, see Authenticate an Connector Instance with Events (UI) or the connector-specific authentication topic.

Configure Polling Through API

Use the /instances endpoint to authenticate with WooCommerce and create a connector instance with polling enabled.

Note: The endpoint returns a connector instance token and id upon successful completion. Retain the token and id for all subsequent requests involving this connector instance.

To authenticate a connector instance with polling:

  1. Construct a JSON body as shown below (see Polling Parameters):

    {
      "element":{
        "key":"woocommercerest"
      },
      "configuration":{
        "store.url": "<WEB_STORE_URL>",
        "oauth.api.key": "<CONSUMER_KEY>",
        "oauth.api.secret": "<CONSUMER_SECRET>",
        "event.notification.enabled": true,
        "event.vendor.type": "polling",
        "event.notification.callback.url": "http://mycoolapp.com",
        "event.notification.signature.key": "<OPTIONAL_SIGNATURE_KEY>",
        "event.poller.refresh_interval": "<minutes>",
        "event.poller.configuration":{
          "contacts":{
            "url":"/hubs/ecommerce/customers",
            "idField":"id",
            "datesConfiguration":{
              "updatedDateField":"date_modified",
              "updatedDateFormat":"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'",
              "createdDateField":"date_created",
              "createdDateFormat":"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'"
            }
          },
          "discounts":{
            "url":"/hubs/ecommerce/discounts",
            "idField":"id",
            "datesConfiguration":{   }
          },
          "orders":{
            "url":"/hubs/ecommerce/orders",
            "idField":"id",
            "datesConfiguration":{   }
          },
          "products":{
            "url":"/hubs/ecommerce/products",
            "idField":"id",
            "datesConfiguration":{   }
          }
        }
      },
      "tags":[
        "<Add_Your_Tag>"
      ],
      "name":"<INSTANCE_NAME>"
    }
    
  2. Call the following, including the JSON body you constructed in the previous step:

    POST /instances
    
    Note: Make sure that you include the User and Organization keys in the header. For more information, see Authorization Headers, Organization Secret, and User Secret.
  3. Locate the token and id in the response and save them for all future requests using the connector instance.
