Why teams connect Autopilot and Plex ERP

Ground Autopilot on the customers, suppliers, items, and transactions that live in Plex ERP, and write the classifications, scores, and extracted fields Autopilot produces back onto those records in real time.

An AI system does not keep customers, orders, or invoices the way an ERP does. What it keeps is derived: the vectors and metadata in a store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was handed. Plex ERP is where those source records actually live, across finance, operations, procurement, and inventory, and that data usually stays behind a strict API with many record types. Whatever Autopilot produces, whether a category, a risk flag, an extracted value, or an embedding, only earns its keep when it lands back on the record in Plex ERP where the business is run.

Stacksync connects Contacts, Lists, Custom Fields, Smart Segments in Autopilot with Sales orders, Purchase orders, Customers, Suppliers in Plex ERP and keeps the two sides in sync in real time. Sales orders, Purchase orders, Customers, Suppliers from Plex ERP replicate into Autopilot continuously, so retrieval, classification, and reasoning run against current ERP records instead of last night's extract, and the fields Autopilot generates sync back onto the matching record in Plex ERP. Mapping is field-level, matching is on identifiers you choose, and Stacksync handles the ERP's API limits and schema drift, so there is no extraction pipeline to build or babysit.

Because every AI-side item carries the key of the record it came from, results always resolve to the right customer, supplier, or transaction. Autopilot reasons over the business as it actually is within seconds of a change, and the people running operations act on model output where they already work, without exporting a file or logging into a second system.

Common use cases

  • 01 Upsert Contacts from a CRM or product database into Autopilot so new signups and profile changes flow into email and SMS journeys without manual CSV imports.
  • 02 Add contacts to a Journey from a database event or CRM stage change to start automated onboarding or nurture sequences.
  • 03 Mirror purchase orders and receipts to accounting or planning tools.
  • 04 Feed quality and scrap data to dashboards supervisors check without logging into Plex.

Common sync patterns

Continuous freshness, no reload

As records are created or corrected in Plex ERP, the copy held in Autopilot updates within seconds, so the model side never reasons over stale ERP data.

One consistent identity across both systems

A customer, supplier, item, or transaction in Plex ERP maps to the corresponding entry in Autopilot, so every AI result attaches to the right entity on both sides.

Document extraction round-trip

Purchase orders, invoices, or other documents flow from Plex ERP into Autopilot for parsing or classification, and the structured result returns to the record it came from.

What you can sync between Autopilot and Plex ERP

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Autopilot objects Plex ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Smart Segments Rule-based dynamic audiences; membership is computed by Autopilot, so it is read-only over the API. Inventory On-hand balances and locations replicated for visibility outside the plant system Smart Segments is specific to Autopilot and Inventory to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journeys (Triggers) Automation journeys; a contact can be added to a journey via its trigger endpoint to start automated email or SMS sequences. Production jobs Shop-floor work records combining ERP and MES data for output reporting Journeys (Triggers) is specific to Autopilot and Production jobs to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Per-contact activity and event history (opens, clicks, journey steps); read-only feed used for engagement reporting. Sales orders Demand records written in from e-commerce or EDI channels and read out for fulfillment status Activities is specific to Autopilot and Sales orders to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Core people records (email, name, custom fields, list and segment membership); upserted two-way as the primary sync object. Purchase orders Procurement records mirrored to accounting and planning systems Contacts is specific to Autopilot and Purchase orders to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Static contact lists; membership is readable per list and writable by adding or removing contacts. Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Lists is specific to Autopilot and Customers to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields User-defined contact properties (string, number, date, boolean); discovered so field keys map cleanly to destination columns. Suppliers Vendor records aligned with procurement and AP tools Custom Fields is specific to Autopilot and Suppliers to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Autopilot and Plex ERP

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Autopilot Plex ERP Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Autopilot for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No CDC.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Plex ERP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Autopilot: The REST API is capped at 100 requests/minute per account; exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Enterprise plans can request a higher limit. Contact writes accept an array for bulk upsert, and list and segment reads paginate via a bookmark cursor.
  • Plex ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.

How the Autopilot and Plex ERP connectors work

Autopilot

Integration surface
REST API (Autopilot v1); Autopilot rebranded to Ortto in 2021 and the newer Ortto API co-exists with the legacy Autopilot endpoints
Authentication
Per-account API key sent in the autopilotapikey request header (generated in account settings); requests use Content-Type application/json against https://api2.autopilothq.com/v1/
Change detection
No CDC; incremental sync polls the /contacts endpoint with bookmark cursor pagination and updated timestamps. Journey webhook actions can push specific contact events, but there is no general change-subscription webhook, so polling is the reliable path.
