Workflow

  1. Confirm each route against the deployed route documentation.
  2. Test with a staging token first.
  3. Use read endpoints to inspect current state before any write operation.
  4. Record the external workflow ID in your own system.
  5. Review jobs, request logs, and audit logs after the workflow runs.

Notes

  • Do not create production automation around undocumented routes.
  • Use idempotency keys for write endpoints.
  • Keep rollback steps documented with the integration runbook.
