Workflow Automation Integration
Now with the new enterprise extension Workflow Automation Integration, complex processes turn into simple and automated tasks. It helps set up various use cases and customize them to specific requirements, which speeds up Pimcore integration with third-party systems. This feature is mainly about reducing repetitive, time-consuming activities and leveraging each resource automatically in favor of the system. Pimcore’s first version had templates for N8N based on existing Datahub configurations. The templates are made to focus on all common scenarios and are immensely practical –
They use over 700 integration components to automate workflows and data pipelines.
Help connect Pimcore with other third-party platforms.
Integrate with data analytics, AI/ML workflows, and data enrichment requirements.
The templates assist in streamlining communication processes by integrating with Microsoft Teams, Jira, Notion, and Slack.
Pimcore integration with other marketing and sales platforms such as Salesforce, Magento, Microsoft Dynamics, etc. is simple due to these templates.
So, if you are intrigued by the power of webhooks, you can now capture and store data from web events directly into a spreadsheet for analysis purposes. Also, the templates are customizable. You can download them from within the Pimcore system.
Alternative Elements Trees
The Alternative Elements Trees are meant to provide a systematic result always no matter how you twist the data.
This extension is another addition in Pimcore 2023.3 that enables you to configure distinct custom views of your data objects, making it easier than ever to identify quality issues that ultimately make maintenance tasks rapid. It allows the creation of virtual folder structures based on groupings of data attributes. The configuration happens in a simple and handy configuration window. Examples of Alternative Elements Trees can be, Catalog management for specific output channels, organizing data in multiple classification hierarchies, etc.
