Add Super Powers To Your Foxy Store With Byteline

From the beginning, Foxy was made to integrate with your preferred tools and technologies. In the past, this required working directly with APIs and webhooks. Over the years though, sending data between different apps has become easier with automation tools like Zapier and Make.

While these automation tools are a great solution for various needs, often times something more robust and bullet proof is needed. Enter Byteline.

How does Byteline differ from automation tools?

When connecting data between apps/services it's important to determine your specific needs and whether an automation tool or data syncing tool will meet those needs best.

Automation tools are great for one-off data sends. For example, subscribe Foxy customer to a Mailchimp mailing list after purchase. This is an event based automation that is fairly easy to set up and doesn't require much attention or maintenance.

But what if you want to update the same Foxy customer record when you make changes in Mailchimp (the reverse)? Sure, you could set up an additional automation that is triggered when changes happen in Mailchimp, but which fields should you watch? How often should the automation tool check for changes? What if there's an error / issue?

This is where a data syncing tool like Byteline really shines since it will watch for any changes made in either app and instantly sync with the other (two-way sync). No need to figure out edge case scenarios, triggers, etc. Just set it and forget it.

Is Byteline expensive?

Automation tools generally charge based on the number of operations/zaps used each time a workflow is run. This could end up being inexpensive or could add up quickly, depending on the number of automation workflows you have, how many steps each automation contains, and how often the automation runs.

On the other hand, Byteline's pricing is based on the number of connections and synced records you have. For some, this may be more expensive than an automation tool, but it's important to consider the other (non-monetary) costs involved:

Setup Time

Depending on your needs, automations can take from one to multiple hours to set up and test. Byteline, on the other hand, can be set up and syncing within just a few minutes. Simply configure each app's connection, match fields, and start syncing.

Edge Case Testing

Testing with automation tools can sometimes be a time consuming process since you'll need to consider all edge cases / scenarios to ensure things work as expected.

With Byteline, all of the edge cases have already been thought through for you. If there's a potential issue with your setup, Byteline will let you know prior to syncing data.

Error / Issue Handling

Errors / issues are handled a bit differently with automation tools. For example, when an automation run errors, generally the entire run will come to a halt until you manually fix the issue and trigger it again. This can get very confusing, especially with multi-step automations, that piggy back on other automation runs... and now they're all piling up.

With Byteline, if an error happens, the sync is reattempted for you automatically. If the issue can not be resolved, you will be notified with details / instructions. Once you fix the issue, you can instantly start the sync again and data will be caught to where it should be in all apps.
