What LynkPIM sends
- Product records and variants
- Attributes, assets, workflow states, and publication-ready outputs
- Selective read or write flows depending on system responsibility
Direction and data
- Bidirectional patterns where responsibility is explicit
- Read-optimized publish flows for downstream channels and applications

Define ownership for schema changes, retry logic, and monitoring
How it behaves
Mapping
- Keep schema mappings versioned and documented
- Avoid hidden business logic inside downstream systems when PIM is the product source of truth
When it runs
- Scheduled exports and on-demand API reads for downstream channels
- Scheduled jobs for batch reconciliation and audit checks
When something fails
- Log failures by connector and payload context
- Use retry and dead-letter handling rules that escalate to named owners
Questions about this integration
When should integration be bidirectional?
Only when system responsibility is clear and changes can be reconciled safely without conflicting edits.
What causes API integration failure most often?
Unclear ownership, silent schema changes, and weak retry or monitoring design are common failure points.
