What it is

An integration is a ready-made connection between Rose Rocket and another system, such as QuickBooks Online, Geotab, DAT or an EDI partner, that you switch on for your organization rather than build.

Take accounting, for example QuickBooks Online. Invoices are written in Rose Rocket and the books are kept in QuickBooks, so someone retypes each invoice there and, later, its payment status back. Switch the QuickBooks Online integration on and invoices, bills and payment status pass between the two on their own. The copying stops.

Switched on, not built

An integration is finished before you meet it. The connector already knows how the other system speaks and which Rose Rocket records its data belongs to, so switching it on is a settings task for an admin, not a build. It belongs to your organization: once on, it is on for everyone. Some connections run all the time, for example Geotab sending truck positions; others act when something happens, for example an EDI load tender arriving as an order.

Where the data lands

Data arriving through an integration lands on ordinary records. A load tender from an EDI partner becomes an order on the Orders board, its tender fields filled the way a typed order’s are; a payment recorded in QuickBooks Online changes an invoice’s status. There is no separate integration place: the data sits on the record page, for example ORD-28, in a field beside the ones people typed, and a proof of delivery a tracking connector returns sits on that record’s Documents tab like any other document. Because it is on ordinary records, it shows in board columns and a workflow can act on it.

Builders call a switched-on connector a module; its settings sit under Module Settings, for example Terminal.

Where you meet it in Rose Rocket

  • Settings (the Settings menu item, below the fold of the left nav) → Module Settings lists the connectors your organization has switched on, for example Terminal → set up once by an admin, on for everyone.
  • Record page (for example, ORD-28) → a value an integration wrote sits in an ordinary field beside the ones people typed → same page, same fields, whoever filled them.
  • Documents tab on a record page (for example, ORD-28) → a file a connector returns, such as a proof of delivery, listed beside the files people uploaded → one record, all its paperwork.
