XML Soap API Http Requests

Answered
Mirko Edelinski User

Which business application?: XML Soap API

What object in the destination?: Soap API

How will records be identified?: Through a unique key.

What sync behaviour?: Make updates when records have changed.

 

Additional details:

Hello,

We are looking to utilize Activations to update records in our erp system but our erp currently only accepts Soap API call. On the following page it specifies that SOAP and XML http requests are currently not supported: https://fivetran.com/docs/activations/destinations/available-destinations/http-request#httprequest

 

I was wondering whether this is something the is currently in the works as a new feature or if there is anything else we can utilize when it comes to SOAP https requests.

 

thanks!

    Hi Mirko,

    Thanks for your patience. We're still evaluating this internally and had a question:

    Would your team be able to construct the SOAP envelope yourselves (the XML structure your ERP expects per its WSDL) and use our Liquid templating to inject field values into it? Or, are you looking for something more similar to a native SOAP client, expecting Fivetran to generate SOAP requests directly from your WSDL (e.g., parsing the schema, building the envelope, mapping fields to typed parameters automatically)?

    One minor note either way: like any HTTP destination we support, we currently only check the HTTP status code to determine success and don't inspect the response body. That's standard behavior across the connector, not specific to SOAP, but worth flagging since some SOAP APIs report errors inside a 200 response.

    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Hello Jeremy,

     

    No problem, thank you for getting back to me.

     

    Yes, we would ideally like to construct the SOAP envelope ourselves to be able to use a prepare data set as the input.

     

    Thank you,
