API and System Integration Guide
Good integrations reduce duplicate entry and move data safely between systems. They require clear ownership, error handling, synchronization and monitoring.
Practical steps
Define the source of truth for each data type.
Map events, fields and update direction.
Choose authentication and permissions.
Design error handling and retries.
Log activity and monitor performance and alerts.
Test limits, volumes and future changes.
