Workato adds complexity: pricing is not publicly available and typically starts from $10,000+/year (AUD), placing it well above Zapier and Make for most mid-market businesses

No single source of truth when emails live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Manually copying data between Microsoft 365 and Workato wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Reporting across Microsoft 365 and Workato requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Microsoft 365 uses a REST API while Workato uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Transaction data in Microsoft 365 requires manual verification against Workato, increasing audit risk

Yes, every integration includes 3 months of post-launch support. We monitor sync health, troubleshoot issues, and make adjustments as your workflow evolves. Ongoing maintenance plans are available for businesses that want continuous optimisation.

Our integrations include retry logic and error queuing. If Workato is temporarily down, changes are queued and replayed once the system recovers. You will receive alerts for any sync failures that need attention. No data is lost during outages.

We follow a structured testing process: unit tests for individual data mappings, end-to-end tests with sample data, and a staging period where we run the integration in parallel with your existing process. You review and approve the results before we switch to live. This approach minimises risk and ensures accuracy.

Absolutely. Custom field mapping is a core part of every integration we build. Whether it is custom properties in Microsoft 365 or user-defined fields in Workato, we map them precisely to your requirements. We can also transform data formats, apply business rules, and handle conditional mappings.

We use a combination of direct REST API connections and automation platforms like Make, Zapier, or n8n, depending on your requirements and budget. For complex workflows, we build custom middleware. The right approach depends on your volume, sync frequency, and business rules.

Our integrations include comprehensive error handling: automatic retries for transient failures, error queuing for system outages, data validation before writes, and real-time alerts for issues that need human attention. We also provide a dashboard where you can monitor sync health and review error logs.
