Best embedded integrations platform for custom objects and field mappings
Blog post from Nango
Enterprise customers often heavily customize their CRM and ERP systems, creating challenges for products that integrate with these platforms. These customizations typically involve adding custom objects and fields that standard APIs do not anticipate, necessitating advanced solutions for schema discovery, customer-configurable field mappings, and efficient data synchronization. Platforms like Nango, Merge, Prismatic, and Workato offer varying capabilities to address these challenges, with Nango providing comprehensive API access and code-first development for deep custom object support, while Merge offers a unified API for select CRMs with limited customization. Prismatic and Workato cater to teams needing visual builders and dynamic field mapping features but have limitations regarding custom object support and complex transformations. The effectiveness of each platform depends on its ability to discover existing schemas, allow customers to map their data, and sync data efficiently, with Nango standing out for its full API access and AI coding agent support, enabling robust per-customer customization and reliable data syncing.
