Trying to connect to Sage Intacct - Don't have enterprise level connection

Beginner Questions

:bullseye: What is your goal?

I want to connect our Sage Intacct to our other services, but I cannot find a way to connect.

:thinking: What is the problem?

Sage Intacct is enterprise only, but we are not Enterprise level. We are a NFP and don’t have the money to support a single app. I’ve set up auth through postman, and thought about doing the same in Make.com with the HTTP module, but am worried about handling that authentication as I’m a beginner and don’t fully understand those kinds of connections.

Quick check of Sage Intact docs say they use REST API with Oauth 2.0 app redirect. You can handle that with minimal issue using the HTTP module.

The more important question is do you know how many operations you will need to use to create your own Sage Intacct integration? How complex is the integration once you factoring in development time and cost, scalability, error checking, maintenance etc?

If those numbers make your use case approach what it would cost to use the Enterprise plan, then it doesn’t make sense to roll your own.

Also since Sage has a .NET SDK, it would be pretty hard to beat just using it to run an integration on a VM.
