Custom Umbraco Integrations for CRM, ERP, PIM, DAM, and Business Systems
iConnect designs and delivers Umbraco integrations that move content and operational data between the systems your organisation already depends on. We define data ownership, authentication, synchronisation, failure handling and support before the connection becomes business-critical.
- API, webhook, scheduled and queue-based integrations
- Clear data mapping and source-of-truth decisions
- Logging, retries and reconciliation built into the design
- New architecture or controlled takeover of inherited code
Tell us what capacity you need
01
One source of truth for each critical entity
02
Failures designed to be visible and recoverable
03
Ownership documented beyond launch
Umbraco integrations connect content delivery with the systems that run the organisation.
An Umbraco integration is not simply a connector between two endpoints. It is an agreement about which system owns the data, when changes move, what happens when a dependency is unavailable and who supports the flow after launch. That clarity is especially important when customer, product, pricing, stock, identity or order data is involved.
01
Your content and customer systems are disconnected
Connect Umbraco with the CRM, marketing platform or account system that already holds customer data, permissions and lifecycle activity. The integration should define which platform owns each field and how changes move between them.
02
Product data is duplicated across too many platforms
Create a governed flow between Umbraco and a PIM, ERP, DAM or commerce platform so product, pricing, inventory and media data do not depend on repeated manual entry. Mapping and reconciliation rules keep the responsibilities of each system clear.
03
A legacy integration has become difficult to trust
Review inherited endpoints, scheduled jobs, authentication, custom code and failure behaviour before replacing or extending the connection. The output is a practical architecture and remediation plan, not an assumption that every integration needs a full rebuild.
04
Your new Umbraco platform must fit an existing ecosystem
Design the integration layer alongside the content model, editorial workflow and deployment plan. This reduces late surprises around data ownership, rate limits, user identity, environments, test data and operational support.
The integration method should follow the business event.
A synchronous API call may suit an immediate lookup. A webhook may suit a content or order event. A queue can isolate systems and make retries safer. A scheduled batch can be the right choice for larger, less time-sensitive transfers. Discovery establishes the event, volume, latency, ownership and recovery requirement before a method is chosen.
One Umbraco integration service can cover the full connected platform.
The exact systems are less important than the data responsibilities between them. iConnect can work with established SaaS platforms, internal applications and purpose-built services where access, ownership and technical feasibility are clear.

A production integration needs more than a successful API response.
The implementation should make duplicates, partial failures, delayed messages, expired credentials and conflicting updates manageable. These controls are agreed in proportion to the business risk, not added as unexplained technical overhead.
Traceable recoverable flows
01
Ownership before endpoints
We identify the source of truth for every important entity before choosing a transfer method.
02
Authentication by design
Credentials, scopes, service accounts, token renewal and secret handling are planned for each environment.
03
Idempotent processing
Repeated messages or retries should not create duplicate customers, orders, assets or content updates.
04
Observable failures
Structured logging, correlation IDs and useful alerts make it possible to trace what failed and where.
Umbraco provides different interfaces for delivery, management and events.
The current CMS includes a Content Delivery API for published content, a Management API used by the backoffice and authorised external integrations, and webhooks for event-driven communication. These interfaces are not interchangeable. The architecture should select them according to whether another system needs to read published content, manage Umbraco data or react to a change.
01
Read published content
Content Delivery API
For headless websites, applications and external services consuming published Umbraco content as JSON.
02
Manage Umbraco data
Management API
For authorised operations that need to work with the management capabilities used by the Umbraco backoffice.
03
React to a change
Webhooks
For event-driven notifications that allow an external system to respond after a relevant Umbraco event.
Custom Umbraco integrations move from business rules to operable software
The sequence creates decision points before code is written and includes the work required after the first successful test. A smaller integration may compress the stages, but ownership, failure behaviour and handover should still be explicit.
1
Stage 01
Discover
Confirm the business outcome, systems, data entities, source-of-truth decisions, users, environments, constraints and the event that starts each flow.
2
Stage 02
Map
Document fields, identifiers, relationships, validation, transformations, permissions, expected volumes and how conflicting updates are resolved.
3
Stage 03
Architect
Choose synchronous, event-driven, queued or scheduled patterns. Define authentication, rate limits, retries, idempotency, storage and recovery.
4
Stage 04
Build
Implement the integration in controlled increments with configuration separated by environment and sensitive values kept out of source code.
5
Stage 05
Verify
Test normal flows, invalid data, timeouts, duplicates, partial failure, token expiry, unavailable dependencies and safe replay or reconciliation.
6
Stage 06
Operate
Release with documentation, dashboards or logs, ownership, support boundaries and a practical method for investigating and recovering failed transactions.
The commercial model should match how well the integration can be defined.
Discovery is useful when the interfaces, ownership or risks are uncertain. A fixed scope suits a bounded connection with stable dependencies. Retained or embedded support suits phased ecosystems and long-term operational ownership.
For uncertain scope
Integration discovery
A focused discovery engagement to define systems, data ownership, risks, options and a delivery recommendation before implementation is committed.
For a defined connection
Fixed-scope delivery
A bounded integration with agreed interfaces, dependencies, acceptance criteria, responsibilities, environments and change-control rules.
For phased ecosystems
Retained integration capacity
Reserved delivery time for a roadmap of connected systems, incremental releases, maintenance and operational improvement.
For existing teams
Embedded specialist support
Umbraco and integration capability working within your repositories, architecture standards, ceremonies and technical ownership model.
Final terms are confirmed in the proposal
Dependencies
Acceptance criteria
Third-party limits
Support ownership

Is the Umbraco integration ready for delivery?
A useful first conversation does not need finished specifications. It does need a real business outcome, access to decision-makers and a willingness to define ownership between the connected systems.
Ready for a useful discovery
- The systems and broad business outcome are known
- Owners can explain the important data and workflows
- API or technical access can be investigated
- There is a real launch, operational or migration need
- The team accepts that failure and support must be designed
Clarify these points first
- No platform has been chosen as the source of truth
- The third-party interface or licence is unknown
- Production credentials are the only available test access
- Success is described only as “keep everything in sync”
- Post-launch ownership and budget have not been discussed

Questions buyers ask before connecting business systems.
Every question and the answer helps define the decision or risk clearly. Exact platform support, access, pricing and delivery commitments are confirmed only after discovery.
What is an Umbraco integration?
An Umbraco integration connects the CMS with another platform so content, customer, product, order, identity or operational data can be retrieved, updated or used to trigger an action. A complete integration defines data ownership, authentication, mapping, timing, failure handling, monitoring and support rather than treating the task as a single API call.
Can Umbraco integrate with a CRM such as HubSpot, Salesforce or Dynamics?
Yes, where the CRM exposes suitable APIs or events and the required access is available. The first step is to decide which platform owns contacts, organisations, consent, campaign data and lifecycle state. The design then covers field mapping, duplicate handling, authentication, request limits, retries and how failures are reconciled.
Can Umbraco integrate with ERP, PIM and DAM systems?
Umbraco can be connected with ERP, PIM and DAM platforms to use operational, product and media data without making the CMS responsible for everything. The integration should define the master record, identifiers, taxonomies, update frequency, asset renditions, locale or market rules and what editors are allowed to override.
What is the difference between the Umbraco Content Delivery API and Management API?
The Content Delivery API exposes published content for headless or decoupled delivery. The Management API is used by the Umbraco backoffice and can also support authorised external management integrations. They solve different problems, so the correct choice depends on whether another system needs to consume published content or manage Umbraco content and configuration.
When should an Umbraco integration use webhooks?
Webhooks suit event-driven communication when an external service should react after something happens in Umbraco, such as content publication. They reduce unnecessary polling, but the receiver still needs authentication, validation, duplicate protection, retry behaviour and an approach for events that cannot be processed immediately.
Can an integration work in both directions?
A two-way integration is possible, but it creates more ownership and conflict decisions than a one-way flow. The design must state which platform owns each field, how simultaneous changes are resolved, how loops are prevented and how a partially completed update is detected and repaired.
How do you prevent duplicate records when an integration retries?
The implementation can use stable external identifiers, idempotency keys, upsert rules, processed-message records and conflict checks so a repeated request or event does not create another customer, asset, order or content item. The exact control depends on what each connected platform supports.
Can you take over an existing custom Umbraco integration?
Yes, but takeover should begin with technical discovery. The review normally covers the installed Umbraco version, packages, endpoints, credentials, scheduled jobs, webhooks, queues, data mappings, logs, known failures, environments and deployment process before a remediation or support plan is agreed.
How are Umbraco integrations tested before launch?
Testing should cover successful flows and failure conditions, including invalid data, unavailable dependencies, timeouts, rate limits, expired credentials, duplicate messages, partial completion and safe replay. Contract tests, representative test data and end-to-end acceptance criteria are selected according to business risk.
Do you provide support after an Umbraco integration launches?
Post-launch support can be scoped for defect resolution, dependency changes, credential rotation, monitoring, reconciliation and planned enhancements. Ownership, response expectations, exclusions, access and the treatment of third-party outages should be confirmed in the proposal rather than assumed.
Tell us what Umbraco needs to exchange, trigger or protect.
Share the current Umbraco version, systems involved, data that must move and the business event that starts the flow. iConnect can then identify the questions required for discovery and provide a practical next step.
