Celigo uses the VAN service through ECGridECGrid. With ECGrid, you can configure inbound and outbound EDI flows requiring VAN connectivity. In ECGrid, you can manage mailbox, trading partners, and trading partner relations. For every VAN connection configured in integrator.io, a user instance is created in ECGrid.
Important
Ensure that you’ve already requested access to ECGrid after setting up a connection to VAN (Value-added network). For more information, see Request access to ECGrid section in Set up a connection to VAN connector.
