Keep Otto and GitHub updated automatically.
Today you sign in to the seller account, look at what sold and carry it over by hand. What you already processed you track somewhere else. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Otto lands in GitHub by itself, in the shape GitHub expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

What each side expects
Otto and GitHub do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Otto
A marketplace supplies orders with their own order number and their own lines, plus returns and cancellations that arrive separately.
GitHub
A task list or table wants to know where something belongs, and only stays usable with a fixed layout.

Common questions
Can you connect Otto to GitHub?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Otto 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 Otto come along, so a task or row in GitHub has just enough context.
Do I still have to log into Otto once the connector runs?
No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the Otto seller account arrives in GitHub by itself. You only open Otto when you want to check something yourself.
What does connecting Otto 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 Otto 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 Otto returns and cancellations?
Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on Otto, so GitHub does not lag behind what actually sold.
What if Otto 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 Otto 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.
