Test Your Integration

Step 4 - Test Your Integration

In this final step, you will verify that your custom integration is working correctly by testing the connection with your endpoints.

Running the Test

Procedure

In the Talk2sync connection interface, navigate to the "Test Connection" or "Scan Products" section
Click the "Scan Products" button to initiate the test
Talk2sync will attempt to:
- Connect to your store URL
- Authenticate using your security key
- Retrieve products from your /api/products endpoint
Wait for the test to complete (this may take a few moments)

Understanding Test Results

Success Scenario ✓

If the test is successful, you should see:

Status: ✓ Connection Successful
Products Retrieved: A count of products from your catalog
Message: Your store is now connected with Talk2sync

This means:

✓ Your store URL is accessible
✓ Your endpoints are responding correctly
✓ Your security key is validated
✓ Your products are being retrieved in the expected JSON format

Troubleshooting Failed Tests ✗

If the test fails, Talk2sync will display an error message. Here are common issues and how to resolve them:

Error	Cause	Solution
Connection Timeout	Store URL is not reachable	Verify your store URL is correct and your server is running
401 Unauthorized	Invalid or missing security key	Check that your endpoints are validating the key correctly
Invalid JSON Format	Response is not valid JSON	Ensure your endpoints return proper JSON responses
No Products Found	Products endpoint not working	Test your `/api/products` endpoint manually
Certificate Error	HTTPS certificate issue	Ensure your SSL certificate is valid (for production)

Manual Testing (Optional)

If you want to test your endpoints manually before using the Talk2sync UI:

Test Products Endpoint:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GENERATED_KEY" \
  https://www.example.com/api/products

Test Orders Endpoint:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GENERATED_KEY" \
  https://www.example.com/api/orders

Both endpoints should respond with valid JSON data.

What Happens After Success

Once your integration passes all tests:

Connection is Active: Talk2sync will begin syncing data with your endpoints
Automatic Synchronization: Your products and orders will be synchronized according to the schedule configured in Talk2sync
Continuous Monitoring: Talk2sync will monitor your endpoints for changes and updates
Error Alerts: If synchronization fails, you will receive notifications about the issues

Your custom integration with Talk2sync is now complete! You can:

Access your data in the Talk2sync platform
