Notes
Germany apps
- Hendirk showed us the back-end / admin app they have built to add
functionality to the OFN core admin operations. It includes:- syncing products with warehouse / ERP software
- analytics dashboard for Hubs
- automating notifications such as out-of-stock and end-of-order cycle notifications to Producers
- The back-end app (not sure if it has a name) is Python, open-source and available here [get link]. Available for use by other instances if wanted. Still in early stages, likely to become a paid additional feature in Germany once they start charging
- Might be an option for quick-n-easy building of more automated notifications, which was a priority that came up in product work ping @Jana
- German team are also investigating / starting work on a mobile app for taking orders, using OFN as base, potentially linking through to coded-auto-access lockboxes for order collection. Very exciting!!
France
- Working on an integration with a basic POS system which is a basic cash machine. Small open source and values aligned provider Pasteque in France, compatibility / usefulness to other instances TBC
- Their prototype (@jibees is building) enables
- login from sub-domain of FR staging
- enter login details to Pasteque, enter OFN API key
- pull list of products / variants and push them to Pasteque (in production)
- pull list of orders and push them to Pasteque (in development)
- Code is open-source and in gitlab - part of CoopCircuits Toolbox (of complementary tools for OFN)
- Seems like once developed this prototype could be adapted to other POS systems, may be complexity around data matching and hence DFC!!! still required
Notes about Endpoints
- Aspiration for these projects to be summarised and documented here in discourse for now. Possibility of support from product team to @hhomann and @stepan to document the german solution (@Rachel to confirm)
- Documentation should include (wherever possible):
- endpoints used
- notes of where documentation (i.e. swagger) is incorrect and needs to be updated
- endpoints most wanted / needed - as noted in this conversation
- webhook: product / variant goes out of stock (this is being polled)
- webhook: order cycle closes
- endpoints: order cycles - get open; recently closed; recently opened etc
- endpoints: CREATE order; possibly also PUT order for updates
Proposed to have this session quarterly as we learn together and develop API User Community
Next Meeting in global calendar for 10 December at 7am AEST. Clocks may have changed by then which may require a rethink, but I can’t process that info right now!
