Wondering if anyone can give me some guidance. So our company uses Umbraco for e-commerce. So we get a lot of order confirmations through email and we have to continously manually submit them to sage. Is there any way of linking the 2 together so that it's automatically generating the sales invoices? Completely new to Umbraco myself. my dev team have used it for 3 years but are stumpted and potentiall reluctant to gander at this because of how busy they are. i just wondered if anyone knew if it could be connected or not. Thanks

Hey Brandan, welcome to the Umbraco Discord. I dont have an instand answer but I do have a question - for your ecommerce, are you using any packages e.g. Umbraco.Commerce, Vendr, anything like that or is it custom?
Sage does have an API which you could hook in to I'm sure. At the end of the day, Umbraco is "just" c# and .net, so you can add custom code to handle the workflow you need. You may even be able to use Umbraco.Automate to handle the submissions from your commerce section of the site. Automate is still in Beta but it's in a very good place.

Yeah i'm not sure to be honest the dev team sort of do everything i've just started as an operations manager, cause things are a bit slow at the moment and we're trying to expand so i'm in charge of trying to automate as much as possible. I've seen that Zapier links with Umbraco and i've trying to do some research into that just unsure at the moment.
Thank you for the welcome though appreicate that

Umbraco.Automate is the Umbraco way of doing Zapier tasks. It's built in to the backoffice so might work perfectly for what you need.
You could setup a flow where an email is sent, then push data to Sage. (very simplified) 😄

oh right well i'll have a look into that. Might be a trial and error type of job until it starts to work or i make some progress.

Agreed with @Owain, this sounds like a perfect job for Umbraco Automate
b
Well actually that's all i really want the email with order confirmation is already done which i then manually enter, So it would be just a read, pick out and input type of job

I've a blog which might give you some ideas on how Automate works : https://owain.codes/blog/2026/july/using-umbracoautomate-to-populate-content-from-an-api

yeah great i appreciate that i'll have a look and see what i can do. if i can't ill send it my devs teams way it's something the business really needs to do
