One compatible workflow is tightly bounded
Use existing systems, standard triggers/actions, basic testing and handover.

CRM, API and system integrations with an accountable operating route.
A reliable connection needs a source of truth, authorised access, defined field movement and a plan for duplicates, failed deliveries and future changes.
The technical question is not only “can it connect?”
A connection can be technically possible and still be the wrong operating design. The useful questions concern authority, access, minimum data and failure ownership.
An API, webhook, connector, export or manual review may each be appropriate. The route is assessed from the actual requirement, not selected from a logo list.
Specify the normal route and control route together.
The integration contract turns technical possibilities into decisions that can be tested and owned.
Event and authority
Define what starts the hand-off, who may cause it and any timing assumption the technical route supports.
Record ownership and identity
Name the system of record, stable identifiers, matching rules and manual-review cases.
Fields and direction
Map only necessary fields, transformations, validation, direction and blank or invalid behaviour.
Authentication and access
Assess account ownership, permissions, credential responsibility, supplier constraints and revocation.
Duplicates, errors and retries
Define repeated-event handling, idempotency where appropriate, retry limits and visible recovery.
Testing and change ownership
Agree logs, monitoring, test cases, acceptance, documentation, support and when changes require retesting.
Use the smallest route that can own the technical responsibility.
A custom connection is not the default answer, and no compatibility is confirmed before assessment.
Broader integration delivery is required
Scope multiple systems, custom logic, complex data, permissions or exception handling.

The need is a broader capability

A successful request is not yet an operating integration.
The delivery plan must cover normal and non-normal tests, visible records, handover and who owns supplier or business changes after launch.
- No blanket compatibility, seamless, real-time, secure, compliant or error-free claim.
- Implementation, hosting, monitoring, support, suppliers and usage are separate from Discovery.
- Never submit passwords, API keys, tokens or live customer data through ordinary enquiry forms.
CRM, API and integration questions
Can you integrate our CRM with existing software?
Potentially. We assess systems, authorised routes, ownership, permissions, identifiers, fields, exceptions and support before confirming delivery.
Do we need an API, webhook or connector?
Not necessarily. A built-in feature, export/import or manual review may be more appropriate for the actual event and recovery needs.
How is the source of truth chosen?
We identify the record, business purpose and responsible system or team, then document identifiers and permitted update directions.
How are duplicates handled?
The design defines repeated-event recognition, safe retries and manual review, using stable references or idempotency where appropriate.
What happens if it fails?
Relevant errors, missing data, supplier downtime and rejected requests should be surfaced, recorded and recovered by a named owner.
What does integration work cost?
A tightly scoped compatible workflow may start from £499; broader work from £999; uncertain/custom routes begin with £399 Technology Discovery. Final scope and separate costs are agreed first.
