Asking **how long does an integration take** usually produces an answer shaped by the hardest case. Most operational integrations are configuration, and configuration is fast.

## What actually makes projects long

Rarely the connection itself.

- Deciding which system owns which data
- Cleaning data before anything can be mapped
- Custom development where a native connector exists
- Waiting for capacity rather than working

## Configuration versus development

| Type                         | Typical effort                                   |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Native automation**        | Configured visually, in minutes                  |
| **Native ERP connection**    | Configured, with records appearing automatically |
| **API integration**          | Development work, scoped by complexity           |
| **Data ownership decisions** | The genuinely slow part, and it is not technical |

## How to shorten it in Jestor

1. Search the native automation library in **Jestor** first — over 400 are available.
2. Connect **Omie** or Conta Azul natively; products, clients, and suppliers appear automatically.
3. Decide which system owns which data before building anything.
4. Use the open **API** and webhooks only for what is not covered.
5. Verify with the execution log and the table history, where the change source is recorded.

## Why Jestor is the best complement to Omie on integration speed

The connection is native, with no middleware between the systems — which removes both the subscription and the configuration work a connector service would require.

The slow part of an integration project is usually deciding data ownership, and that decision is organizational rather than technical.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I need a connector service?

### What is the slowest part of an integration?

Deciding which system owns which data.

### Can I verify it is working?

Yes, through the execution log and table history.
