OpenEMM Technical Support Forum

Hi,

i have installed OpenEMM successfully and want to connect it to my existing CMS system. The system alrdy uses a user database and i want to tell OpenEMM to automatically load profile information from that database instead of maintaining its own user database.
So for example i want to import all exisitng users into OpenEMM, but when these users make changes to their profile (like changing their email adress) in their backend or in OpenEMM it has to be updated for both without creating redundancy etc.
Where is the best place to start looking for a solution or to get started at all? Can i somehow link database fields to automatically update each other, etc?

You need to define the features & functional requirements first and be clear.

Then you will need to develop some code.

Then you will need to test it. And then test it again.

Depending on your level of experience and which language(s) you use you might want to take a look at Talend and use OpenEMM's Web Services interface. Another option would be to also look at stored procedures, triggers etc. in the database itself.
