I was just checking up on Zapier now and realised we still do not have an ERPNext Zapier integration.
I did a random check and found that most of ERPNext’s competing products have multiple Zaps already registered. Even Odoo has three different zaps for different purposes.
While I know that ERPNext is an open source application and features can be and are sometimes community driven, some areas require the ERPNext/Frappe team to take lead.
Zapier integration should be one of this.
Not having ERPNext on Zapier is not good for the image of the brand, I hope the ERPNext team agrees with me on this.
While it is true that Odoo has some zaps already, it is also true that Odoo is not in the process of altering its overall structure. ERPNext is really altering its core structure beginning with v14. This process is not quite done yet. It would be difficult to create a supportable set of zaps for the user base when the core is not really settled yet.
While I agree it wod be really nice to ha e some zaps in place, I would not want to impact the core design process just to support them.
During these times of slowing business worldwide, it is still a good idea to focus on having the architecture in place and relatively solid before we try to create universal zaps.
