External Portal Integration (HLF)

HLF is simultaneously redesigning its 'Min Side' membership portal on the Dynamics platform. Without an explicit integration layer, Meander and the HLF portal risk presenting contradictory member data, duplicating workflows, or sending conflicting notifications. HLF explicitly classified this as a must for their organization (priority matrix, phase 2). Misalignment between the two systems would directly undermine HLF adoption. Providing a managed integration surface also signals enterprise readiness to organizations with existing digital infrastructure, reducing IT-department resistance during procurement.

The external_portal_configs table stores per-organization endpoint URLs, authentication tokens (encrypted at rest), sync schedule, and field mappings. The ExternalPortalSyncService handles OAuth handshake and data exchange via Dynamics REST APIs. The admin config page provides a connection test button, sync status indicators, error surfacing, and a field-mapping editor. The integration is exposed as a config flag within admin-organization so the UI only appears for organizations that have enabled it. Secrets are stored encrypted and never returned to the client in plaintext. All sync events are logged to audit_logs.
