INTEGRATIONS.
Connect software, APIs and business systems so information moves automatically between the tools you already use.
A demonstration with fictional sample data. The systems, endpoints, references and timings are illustrative.
PRINCIPLE
EVERYTHING CONNECTS THROUGH LOGIC.
Most businesses already have the right tools. The cost is in the gaps between them: the copying, re-keying and double-checking that happens by hand every day.
WHAT IT COVERS
06 AREAS
- 01
API INTEGRATIONS
Connect systems through their published APIs, including authentication, pagination, rate limits and the awkward edge cases the documentation leaves out.
- 02
WEBHOOKS & EVENTS
React the moment something happens, such as a form submitted, an invoice paid or stock running low, rather than waiting for someone to notice.
- 03
DATA SYNC
Keep customers, products and orders consistent between the CRM, accounts and spreadsheets, with clear rules about which system is right.
- 04
SCHEDULED JOBS
Nightly imports, exports, reconciliations and reports that run on time and tell you when they didn't.
- 05
ERRORS & RETRIES
Failures are caught, retried safely and reported, so a brief outage at one supplier doesn't quietly lose a day of orders.
- 06
A LOG YOU CAN READ
Every event, what it touched and what came back, in plain language, so questions about what happened have an answer.
DESIGN RULE
ONE HOME FOR EVERY FACT.
Integrations go wrong when two systems both think they own the same information. Before connecting anything, I agree where each fact lives: customers in the CRM, invoices in the accounts, stock in the warehouse system. Everything else reads from there.
With that settled, the connections themselves become simple and predictable. Events flow one way, updates are safe to repeat, and a failure in one place doesn't corrupt another.
WHAT EVERY CONNECTION GETS
- A single owner for each piece of data
- Updates that are safe to run twice
- Retries with back-off, then an alert
- Secrets kept out of code and rotated
- A readable record of every event
APPROACH
HOW I'D APPROACH IT.
- 01
Map the systems
What you use, what each one holds, and where people currently move information between them by hand.
- 02
Decide who owns what
One home for each kind of record, and clear rules for what happens when two systems disagree.
- 03
Connect one flow
Start with the hand-off that costs the most time, make it dependable and observable, then move on to the next.
- 04
Watch it run
Monitoring and alerts from day one, so problems surface quickly and quietly, before a customer notices.
HAVE A PROBLEM WORTH SOLVING?
Tell me which systems don't talk to each other and what that costs you each week. I'll map out how I'd connect them.
