Integrations
The Integrations section is where users will configure and set up pipes. Every pipe contains a name and system credentials, is linked with a Flow, and may or may not have a Mapping configuration.
What is a Pipe?
A Pipe is a single integration unit, i.e., the sub-unit of every system integration, responsible for synchronizing all entities (Customers, Orders, Products, etc.). Each pipe is mapped to a Flow to carry out the underlying integration logic.

Pipe Types
Batch 
Data synchronization will be handled periodically at certain configured time intervals. This is the most commonly used Pipe type since it offers optimum performance.
Example: Every 2 hours
Dynamic 
Data synchronization is done in real-time using an API call from any system through DCKAP Integrator. For example, services like Pricing may be configured as a Dynamic Pipe to fetch the prices in real-time.
Use the following URL to run all your dynamic services in integrator.dckap.com:

This URL can also be got by clicking on the COPY URL button in the Integrations page.
Manage Pipes
The pipes are displayed either as a Grid or a table.
In the Integrations page, the following information is present in grid/tabular form:
Field Name
Sample
Description
Status
Enables or disables the working of a pipe, used especially during scheduled synchronization
Pipe Name
Displays the name of Integration Pipe
Systems
Systems connected in the pipe
Type of Integration
Batch: When the data synchronization is done periodically
Dynamic: When the data synchronization is done in real-time using an API call to the system
Sync status
Displays the time at which the last sync was performed and if the sync was complete or not

Auto Pilot Mode and Scheduler
The Sync process for Batch type integration can be automated by scheduling it. This is done by clicking on the Enable Auto Mode link present just below the pipe name or clicking the 
For a Dynamic pipe, the ability to schedule is disabled
