Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prioritize which integrations to build?+
Score each integration using the evaluation scorecard in Section 2. Customer demand and revenue impact carry the most weight. If two integrations score similarly, pick the one with the more stable and well-documented API. It will ship faster and require less maintenance.
Should we build native integrations or use iPaaS middleware?+
Build native for your top 3-5 strategic integrations where deep UX matters. Use iPaaS (Zapier, Workato, Tray.io) for long-tail integrations where basic data sync is sufficient. This strategy is outlined in the [Product Strategy Handbook](/strategy-guide).
How do I handle breaking changes in a partner's API?+
Maintain version awareness in your integration code. Subscribe to the partner's API changelog. When a breaking change is announced, assess impact within 48 hours, communicate the timeline to affected customers, and aim to migrate within one month of the deprecation notice.
Who owns the integration after launch?+
The PM who scoped it owns the roadmap. Engineering owns operational health and monitoring. CS owns support tickets. BD owns the partner relationship. Define this in the RACI matrix at kickoff and revisit quarterly. ---
