API and integration planning guide
How to think through third-party tools, data flow and operational dependencies before implementation. Integrations usually fail because ownership and data flow are unclear, not because the API itself is difficult.
Source of truthFailure handlingSync ownership
Quick start
List every tool that needs to talk to the product and why that connection matters.
Data flow
Decide which system owns each record, what syncs one-way or two-way and how conflicts are handled.
Operational risk
Plan for retries, logging, alerts and manual fallback before the integration goes live.
Delivery note
The right integration architecture often saves more time than adding another feature.
