Integrations and imports
Why use this guide
Section titled “Why use this guide”Integrations bring records from vendor systems and government registries into the farm workflow. Use this guide to configure a source, verify animal mapping and distinguish a submitted request from an accepted result.
Find your task
Section titled “Find your task”| I need to… | Go to |
|---|---|
| Connect a vendor source or resolve animal mapping | Vendor connection journey |
| Accept or reject a registry movement | Movements to Review and arrival form |
| Check, retry or correct a submission | Outbound submissions |
| Compare the farm herd with a registry | Reconcile with registry |
Integrations bring data from external services or files into a selected farm. Farmlync does not manage a collar, robot or parlour device itself. Its connection is to the vendor’s service, an uploaded file or a registry provider. Always check which farm owns a connection and what period a sync covers.
Vendor connections
Section titled “Vendor connections”Open Admin → Vendor integrations, select a farm and review its connections. The current connection form configures a vendor CSV layout and animal-identifier matching; it has no credential or polling-schedule control. Use Import data to upload a supported CSV and read the result counts. Mapping issues lists vendor animals that Farmlync could not confidently match. Compare the source identifier with the intended animal before resolving it, then check the resulting workflow. A saved connection does not guarantee every imported animal was matched. See the Vendor integrations screen guide for the form, import summary and mapping controls.
Platform administrators manage which vendor definitions are offered. A tenant administrator configures each farm’s connection and animal mapping. Do not change a platform-wide provider definition to fix one farm’s tag mismatch.
Government registry work
Section titled “Government registry work”Use Government registrations, Sync log and Reconciliation in the Farm portal to inspect the farm’s registry connection and submissions. A registry can have its own approval or rejection steps. A Farmlync “submitted” record is not proof that the other party or registry completed the movement. Open the item and read its current provider status. Correct rejected or unmatched items using the action displayed for that provider. Different registries may show different details; follow the status on the actual item.
The Government registrations screen guide explains the three left-menu destinations, their filters, actions and outcomes.
File imports
Section titled “File imports”Animals, milk, breeding, health, stock and carcass features may have their own Import action. Open it from the owning feature, select the file, inspect its preview and row-level errors, then confirm. Afterward, check the import result and a sample of the created source records. If a row is rejected, fix the source or mapping and retry only that intended data; do not duplicate successful rows.
