Spree Commerce asked us to create an integration between Magento and their new product Wombat. We really got into it.
Today is a historic day. Integrating Magento to other apps has just become about a hundred times easier!
Let me rewind. A few months ago I were talking to a prospect with a typical story — a legacy ecommerce site in need of modernization, custom workflow, all that. As we got deeper into the discovery process, something new sparked my interest — they mentioned “Spree Commerce Hub” among the software they were thinking about using to help them integrate their apps. Intrigued, I headed over to the Spree website and signed up for a free trial.
It only took me five minutes of playing with the demo to convince me that I need to get out of the business of custom integrations. Here’s why: It took me two minutes to connect my Mailchimp and Twilio accounts to Wombat (most of the time was spent digging up API credentials). Two more minutes later I had them talking to each other. That’s right, data coming from one app to the other.
Data integration with Magento has always been a pain, but today we’ve solved some of the most painful parts. We’ve released not one but two different ways to connect Magento to Wombat!
