InEight - Partner operation
The InEight – Partner operation defines how your integration interacts with the
InEight project management system. Each operation represents a specific action—such as List (Get), Create, Delete, or Patch—which can be applied to different InEight object types (employees, equipment, materials, contracts, estimates, project controls, etc.).
Operations are classified as:
- Inbound – Retrieves records from InEight into Boomi (e.g., List).
- Outbound – Sends new or modified records from Boomi to InEight (e.g., Create, Delete, Patch).
The connection handles OAuth 2.0 authentication automatically for each request, securely transmitting data to and from InEight APIs.
Action tab
| Action | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Create | Outbound | Creates a new record in the InEight system. The input document must contain all required fields for the specific object type. The connector validates data format and business rules before sending them to the InEight API. |
| List (Get) | Inbound | Retrieves multiple records from the InEight system. Supports OData query parameters for filtering, sorting (order by), and pagination. Accepts JSON filters according to the API specification. |
| Delete | Outbound | Removes one or more records from InEight. Requires an array of record IDs. Supports bulk deletion and validates record existence before processing. |
| Patch | Outbound | Performs partial updates to existing records. Currently supported only for Employee objects. Allows modifying specific fields without overwriting other data. More efficient than a full update. |
Request/Response Profiles
The InEight connector implements comprehensive request and response profile validation to ensure data integrity and proper API communication. Each operation has defined schemas that validate incoming and outgoing data structures.
Request Profiles
Request profiles define the expected structure and validation rules for input data:
- List Operations: Support OData query parameters (Ex.=> filter, order by, top, skip)
- Upsert Operations: Validate complex nested object structures with arrays and references
- Delete Operations: Accept either simple ID arrays or structured deletion requests
- Patch Operations: Validate partial update structures for existing records
Response Profiles
Response profiles define the structure of data returned from operations:
- List Operations: Return paginated arrays with metadata
- Upsert Operations: Return success/error status with processed record information
- Delete Operations: Return deletion confirmation and error details
- Patch Operations: Return updated record information
Key Features
- Dynamic Schema Generation: Profiles are generated dynamically based on operation type
- Type Validation: Enforces proper data types (string, number, boolean, array, object)
- Nested Structure Support: Handles complex nested objects and arrays

note
- List operations support OData queries for server-side filtering, sorting, and paging.
- Patch operation is currently available only for Employees in the Core module.
- DEL method in Estimates module is used as DELETE HTTP calls to remove specific records.
- For large datasets, consider using pagination parameters to optimize performance.
