How to Connect Ecwid as Data Destination
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!

5. Auto-update and update interval.
Once you have set up a Data Source system, such as Google Sheets, you can start setup Ecwid as a Data Destination.
To do this, click "Start Configuring Data Destination".
Select the system as Data Destination. In this case, you must specify Ecwid.
Next, you need to specify an action, for example, "Create ORDER".
- Create ORDER - a new order will be created in your Ecwid account.
- Create CUSTOMER - a new customer will be created in your Ecwid account.
- Update ORDER - an existing order will be update in your Ecwid account.
The next step is to select the Ecwid account in which the order will be created.
If there are no accounts connected to the ApiX-Drive system, click "Connect account".
Enter your login and password for your Ecwid account.
After that, the page will reload and the saved account will be automatically selected.
If this does not happen, select the created account in the list.
Now you need to assign the connection of the fields of the Data Source using the example of Google Sheets with the corresponding fields in Ecwid.
Also assign other required fields from the dropdown lists.
Now you can see the test data.
If you want to send test data to Ecwid in order to check if the setup is correct, click "Send test data to Ecwid" and go to your Ecwid to check the result.
If you want to change the settings - click "Edit" and you will go back one step.
If everything suits you, click "Next".
This completes the Data Destination system setup!
Now you can start choosing the update interval and enabling auto-update.
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.
To enable auto-update, switch the slider to the position as shown in the picture.
To perform a one-time data transfer, click on the arrow icon.
This completes setup Ecwid as a Data Destination! See how easy it is!?
Now don't worry, ApiX-Drive will do everything on its own!
