Import Process Begins

After clicking Connect, ZYNOFF initiates the import process. You'll see status notifications indicating the progress of the connection.

Import Pending

Initially, you'll see an "Import Pending" notification with the message "Import is queued and will begin shortly." This indicates that ZYNOFF has accepted your API key and scheduled the product import.

Import in Progress

Once the import starts, the notification changes to "Import in Progress" with the message "Sync started." The import process may take several minutes depending on the size of the Corys Electrical product catalogue.

During the import process, the page displays:

Key: Your masked API key (showing only partial characters for security)
Sync Type: Last Imported
Price Book: Status of price book availability

Note: Do not close your browser or navigate away from ZYNOFF during the import process. Whilst the import continues in the background, staying on the page allows you to monitor progress and receive immediate confirmation when complete.

Step 5: Verify Successful Import

After the import completes, ZYNOFF displays a success notification confirming that all product data has been synced.

Import Success Notification

The "Last Import Successful" notification appears in green at the top of the integration page, displaying:

Status message: "Last Import Successful"
Import details: Number of products synced (inserted and updated)
Prices: Pricing information status (fresh or stale)
Last import date: Timestamp of the most recent successful import

Updated Integration Status

After successful import, navigate back to the main Integrations page by clicking the Back button in the top right corner.

On the Integrations page, the Corys Electrical card now displays a green "Connected" badge, indicating the integration is active and products have been imported successfully.

Step 6: Access Imported Products

Disconnecting the Integration

Best Practices

Verify API key carefully: Double-check your API key before clicking Connect to avoid authentication errors. An incorrect API key will cause the connection to fail and require re-entry.
Monitor initial import: Stay on the integration page during the first import to ensure it completes successfully. Note the number of products synced for future reference.
Use supplier filters: When working with products from multiple suppliers, use the supplier filter in Products and Services to quickly locate Corys items.

Troubleshooting

Connection fails with API key error

If you receive an error message when entering your API key:

Verify that you've copied the entire API key without any extra spaces or characters
Check that your API key hasn't expired by contacting Corys Electrical
Ensure your Corys Electrical account is active and in good standing
Try copying the API key again from your Corys account portal or confirmation email
If the error persists, request a new API key from Corys Electrical support

If the import status remains at "Import Pending" for more than 15 minutes:

Refresh the page to see if the status has updated
Navigate away and return to the integration page to trigger a status refresh

Check that you're viewing the correct workspace if you have multiple
Use the search bar to look for a known Corys product name or code
Clear any active filters that might be hiding imported products
Select "Corys Electrical" from the Supplier dropdown filter
If products still don't appear, check the import statistics on the integration page to confirm the product count

Verify your API key hasn't been revoked or changed
Check that your Corys Electrical account hasn't been suspended
Try disconnecting and reconnecting with a fresh API key
