Plus your company id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "inflow_inventory" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in inFlow Inventory?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 5 inFlow Inventory actions are destructive, including quick cancel, delete a category and unsubscribe from a webhook. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it. **Will an AI agent use up my inFlow Inventory API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the inFlow Inventory service file: 60 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (58 inFlow Inventory actions can be), which never reaches inFlow Inventory. **What does an inFlow Inventory action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (109 inFlow Inventory actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls inFlow Inventory refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. **Which inFlow Inventory API does it cover?** The inFlow Cloud API 2026-10-06 (OpenAPI 3.0.4) at cloudapi.inflowinventory.com. It is built from inFlow Inventory's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 109 actions in 31 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my inFlow Inventory data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your inFlow Inventory credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models. **Which AI clients can use it?** Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names. ## More connectors like inFlow Inventory Shares the most action names with - [Visma eAccounting 12](https://actionlake.com/connectors/visma-eaccounting) - [Acumatica Cloud ERP 12](https://actionlake.com/connectors/acumatica-cloud-erp) - [Katana Cloud Inventory 11](https://actionlake.com/connectors/katana-cloud-inventory) - [Clover 11](https://actionlake.com/connectors/clover) - [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 10](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sap-s-4hana-cloud-public-edition) - [VTEX 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/vtex) Joins with, on shared entities - [Lightspeed Retail X-Series 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lightspeed-retail-x-series) - [Cin7 Core 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/cin7-core) - [Sellercloud 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sellercloud) - [Zoho Inventory 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/zoho-inventory) - [Veeqo 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/veeqo) - [Maropost Commerce Cloud (Neto) 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/maropost-commerce-cloud-neto) Browse - [All Accounting & finance connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/accounting-and-finance) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
