Managing OCPI integrations
You might have a need to synchronize your charging points and sites to an external 3rd party platform using OCPI. This can be achieved using OCPI integrations!
You need to add PartyId (a three letter uppercase id e.g. EMB) and Country code (two letter uppercase code e.g. FI or NO) in Customer details before adding any OCPI integrations! Combination of these should be unique, so please discuss with your OCPI partner if you are not sure which ones to use.
Use of OCPI version 2.2 is preferred, although we also support the 2.1.1 version.
1. If you want to create a new OCPI integration, navigate to "Integrations" page and click "Add integration" and select "OCPI" from the next prompt. To edit existing ones, navigate to integration in question.
2. You need to add Integration name, Endpoint URL and Authorization key (Token A) to create a new integration. If you want to connect to an existing OCPI partner and want to reuse the same URL, you can select that integration partner from the "Integration Partner" list and the URL will be prefilled. Note that you need to negotiate the authorization credentials with the integration partner before a successful connection.
3. As the last step you need to choose the role for the integration, will it be sending or receiving the credentials. If you are the receiver, you need to get the "Authorization key" from the OCPI partner. If you are the sender, you need to generate the "Authorization key" and send it to the OCPI partner. If both parties have the same role, the connection won't be successful.
4. After all the values have been set up, you can click "Save" to save the integration.
5. After the integration has been created, you can update the Communication options or add information about locations which will be synced with the integration partner.
