Hi @dmiller, Diane,

it seems the EDI SnapPack is not (yet) available in the Partner environment. We have a potential customer who is looking to replace some existing B2B integrations, and it would be very useful to have access to the EDI SnapPack for demo purposes.Can you advise how we can get the SnapPack activated?

Kind Regards,

Lucas

Hi Lucas,

Please send an email to pavan@snaplogic.com so we can discuss more on EDI needs. I can also walk you through how the architecture works and also the solution that is tightly integrated with EDI gateway (orderful).

Hi Lucas,

I emailed the owner of the org to see if it was just an oversight. If I don’t hear back from him in a couple hours, I’ll see if there’s another way I can get you access.

@RojoLucas, It looks like the Snaplex in your project space’s /shared directory has not been updated to the latest version, so you won’t see the new Snaps until it is.
