Best Practices

Security Considerations

  1. Principle of Least Privilege
    • Grant only necessary permissions
    • Regularly review and audit access
    • Use separate accounts for integrations when possible
  2. Credential Management
    • Use OAuth over API keys when available
    • Rotate credentials regularly
    • Monitor for unauthorized access
  3. Data Protection
    • Understand what data is being accessed
    • Configure appropriate data retention policies
    • Ensure compliance with privacy regulations

Performance Optimization

  1. Rate Limit Management
    • Understand each service’s rate limits
    • Implement backoff strategies
    • Use batch operations when available
  2. Efficient Data Sync
    • Configure incremental sync where possible
    • Filter data at the source
    • Use webhooks for real-time updates
  3. Error Handling
    • Implement retry logic for transient failures
    • Set up monitoring and alerting
    • Plan for service outages

Integration Maintenance

  1. Regular Health Checks
    Health Check Commands

Test integration status

/test-integration [service-name]

Check authentication status

/integration-status

Refresh connection

/refresh-auth [service-name]

2. **Monitor Usage**
   - Track API usage and costs
   - Monitor performance metrics
   - Review error logs regularly

3. **Update Management**
   - Stay informed about API changes
   - Test integrations after service updates
   - Plan for deprecations and migrations

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Authentication Failures

**Problem**: OAuth flow fails or tokens expire  
**Solutions**:
- Clear browser cache and cookies
- Check if service account has necessary permissions
- Verify redirect URLs are correctly configured
- Try re-authenticating from scratch

**Problem**: API key authentication fails  
**Solutions**:
- Verify API key is correctly copied
- Check if API key has expired
- Ensure API key has necessary scopes
- Test API key directly with service's API

#### Permission Errors

**Problem**: Integration can't access required data  
**Solutions**:
- Review and expand integration permissions
- Check service-specific role assignments
- Verify organization admin has granted access
- Contact service administrator if needed

#### Rate Limiting Issues

**Problem**: Integration hits rate limits frequently  
**Solutions**:
- Reduce frequency of automated actions
- Implement intelligent batching
- Upgrade service plan if available
- Use webhooks instead of polling

#### Data Sync Problems

**Problem**: Data isn't syncing correctly  
**Solutions**:
- Check service status pages for outages
- Verify data formats and field mappings
- Review integration logs for errors
- Test with manual sync operations
