Under Bedrijf → Koppelingen (Company → Integrations) you find all Beamcore integrations together. For each integration you see what it does, whether it is active for you and how to set it up. There is no separate system behind it: setting up always happens in the screens that already exist, such as Webhooks and the accounting integration. The page is visible to the owner of the company and to anyone who may change the company settings.
The tiles and their status
Each integration is a tile on the page, with one of these statuses:
- Actief (Active): the integration works, for example an active webhook to Zapier or an active accounting integration with Exact Online, AFAS Profit or SnelStart.
- Niet ingericht (Not set up): the integration exists, but you do not use it yet. The button on the tile takes you to the right screen.
- Binnenkort (Coming soon): the integration does not exist yet. With Interesse melden (Register interest) you let Beamcore know you want to use it.
Besides automation and accounting there are tiles for Peppol and for reading IFC models from your drawing software. If you may not open a screen, the tile tells you why not.
Setting up Zapier or Make
- Create a webhook trigger in Zapier or Make and copy the URL. In Zapier that is "Webhooks by Zapier" with the trigger "Catch Hook", in Make the module "Webhooks" with "Custom webhook".
- In Beamcore, click Webhook-sjabloon gebruiken (Use webhook template) on the tile.
- Paste the URL under Webhook-URL (Webhook URL). The address must start with https://.
- Check the prefilled Events and click Webhook aanmaken (Create webhook).
- Copy the secret key that appears. It is shown only once.
Every message has the header X-Beamcore-Signature, so you can check that it comes from Beamcore. The page shows a sample message for each event. Webhooks are not switched on by default. If you see a notice about this, ask Beamcore to switch them on.
Madaster: working with an import file
A direct integration with Madaster does not exist yet; the tile says Binnenkort (Coming soon). You can download the material passport of a project as an import file and read it into Madaster yourself:
- Open the project and go to the Duurzaamheid (Sustainability) tab.
- In the Materialenpaspoort (Material passport) block, choose Madaster (Excel) or Madaster (CSV).
- Read the file into Madaster.
The file has one line per material per element, with the IFC GUID of the element. Without a processed IFC model there are no elements and Madaster does not link the lines to the model. The columns have not yet been checked against an official Madaster template. The Sustainability tab is part of the Houtvoorraad & Materiaalplanning (Timber stock & Material planning) add-on (€139 per month).
