Sync customers

The sync customers API is a single API endpoint that you can use to send customer data into TRAEDE.

Creating vs updating customers

TRAEDE will use customer number to determine if a customer already exists and we are trying to create a new customer or updating an existing one. For instance, if you send a customer with customer number 1000 TRAEDE will look for an existing one. If one exists this customer will be used. If one does not exist it will be created.

Updating customer numbers of existing customers

Due to the above sync model you are not able to update customer numbers using the customer sync API. This is because if you pass a new customer number, then it will be used to create a new customer instead of updating the one you are trying to update.

Deleting customers

You can delete customers by passing along delete: true to the customer data. Note that customers with production orders and other data cannot be deleted. TRAEDE will return an error response if the delete was unsuccessful for any reason
