In Velo (Wix Code)
Hello,
I am new to Velo and would like your opinion on this project:
My client is a property agent (sale and rent), they create their listings in Alto Software CRM and it is automatically synchronised to Zoopla and Rightmove, I need to do the same with their WIx website.
I was told to look at Velo and these are my conclusions, maybe you can give kind advice if I am in the right direction:
1) I created a collection and associated repeaters in Wix,
they look fine. Each repeater contains an image and some text field.
2) Now I need to create a details page (clicking the image) and show an image gallery, for that I need to create an image database and connect it to the property as explained in

3) Now to the Velo part: I need to interrogate the Alto API ( I got it) and hope to get all images and information.
I will start a backend job (jobs_config) every day to sync to Alto. I have to delete all collections and query Alto to build everything from scratch. I can't see another way to sync (push or pull) - any idea?
4) I will use Secret manager and get.secret() to store and use Alto API Keys. Then use .fetch to query the API like in https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/articles/getting-started/integration-with-third-party-services
5) Use wixdata.insert() to build the collections. I am not sure how images and image gallery from API will be saved as files:
https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/articles/getting-started/give-get-example-integrating-with-third-party-services only shows text information,
6) Then use .importFile() to import image files and build the collections accordingly.
Do you think this makes sense or am I missing something?
Thank you so much for reading my post and if you can provide your inputs.
Denis
