Connect Sherpaan and Act-on

Connecting Sherpaan and Act-on for a company could enable the transfer of relevant data between the two platforms, such as customer or sales information. This could support improved marketing activities and more informed decision-making by ensuring that both systems have access to up-to-date and consistent information.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Sherpaan and Act-on around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Sherpaan and Act-on?

A company that uses both Sherpaan and Act-on could consider connecting these systems to enable more efficient data exchange between their business operations and marketing activities. The main reason for considering such a connection would be to reduce manual data entry, minimize errors, and ensure that both systems reflect up-to-date and consistent information. Without a connection, staff may have to enter the same data into both systems, which increases the risk of discrepancies and can lead to records drifting apart over time. This can result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, affecting both operational efficiency and the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of data such as customer records, order information, marketing campaign responses, and analytics. The specific types of data exchanged would depend on what each system is designed to manage and what is important for the business processes involved. For example, Sherpaan is known as an order and logistics platform, while Act-on is a marketing automation system, so the focus could be on synchronizing customer and order data with marketing engagement metrics. Ultimately, what data can be exchanged and how it is handled depends on what each system makes available through its API and must be determined for each specific situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Sherpaan and Act-on make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
