Bol.com GitHub

Keep Bol.com and GitHub updated automatically.

Today you open the Bol.com seller account, copy the items and delivery address per order, and keep your own list of which ones are done. A return or a cancellation starts that round all over again. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Bol.com lands in GitHub by itself, in the shape GitHub expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The problem

What this connector takes off your hands

  • Today you open the Bol.com seller account, copy the items and delivery address per order, and keep your own list of which ones are done. A return or a cancellation starts that round all over again.

  • Today you create the task or the row yourself, or you just remember it and that fails eventually.

What you get out of it

What Bol.com to GitHub saves you

  • Turn every new Bol.com order into a GitHub task automatically.
  • Turn every Bol.com return into a GitHub task automatically.
  • Turn every Bol.com payout into a GitHub task automatically.
  • Turn stock running low on Bol.com into a GitHub task automatically.
  • Turn every cancellation on Bol.com into a GitHub task automatically.
The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between Bol.com and GitHub, and how often.

  1. Tasks

    to GitHub automatically

    This lands in GitHub as a task in the list or project you choose, so follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.

  2. Rows

    to GitHub automatically

    This arrives in GitHub as a new row, so your overview stays complete without you retyping anything.

Both sides

What each side expects

Bol.com and GitHub do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Bol.com

Bol.com thinks in orders split per item, with an EAN per line, its own order number and a delivery promise you are held to. Commission and shipping costs sit apart from the order line, so what you sell and what you get paid are two different amounts.

GitHub

A task list or table wants to know where something belongs, and only stays usable with a fixed layout.

In four steps

Setting it up

  1. 01

    Request the connector

    Let us know you want to link Bol.com to GitHub. We get in touch within 24 hours with a timeline.

  2. 02

    We agree what should travel

    Together we settle what should travel out of Bol.com. A task list or table wants to know where something belongs, and only stays usable with a fixed layout.

  3. 03

    We build and test

    You see the connector run on a few test records before anything becomes final.

What you need

  • A Bol.com seller account you administer. In that account’s settings you create the API credentials Schakel uses.
  • An account with edit rights, and the list or project it should land in.

Common questions

Can you connect Bol.com to GitHub?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Bol.com and GitHub, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Which GitHub project or list do the tasks land in?

The project or list you choose. That keeps everything in one place rather than scattered, and follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.

Can I decide what goes into the GitHub task or row?

Yes. When setting it up you pick which details from Bol.com come along, so a task or row in GitHub has just enough context.

Do I still have to log into Bol.com once the connector runs?

No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the Bol.com seller account arrives in GitHub by itself. You only open Bol.com when you want to check something yourself.

What does connecting Bol.com and GitHub cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does Bol.com sync with GitHub?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

Does the connector also pick up Bol.com returns and cancellations?

Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on Bol.com, so GitHub does not lag behind what actually sold.

What if Bol.com or GitHub is briefly unavailable?

Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.

Missing something you need?

Tell us what Bol.com and GitHub should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
