Describe data direction, prerequisites and failures
Specify the account permissions, source event, destination fields and failure owner for one CRM-to-scheduler journey. Keep initial import distinct from ongoing updates and say which system owns each shared value. These details let a buyer evaluate fit without mistaking two integration logos for a verified working connection.
Worked example — illustrative data.
| Field | Specimen requirement | Evidence to supply |
|---|---|---|
| Prerequisite | Admin approval in both systems | Actual permissions and supported plans |
| Direction | CRM account → scheduler organization | Field mapping and update rules |
| Trigger | Approved account event | Supported event and retry behavior |
| Failure | Hold failed record for review | Error visibility and responsible owner |
| Limit | No billing data in this concept | Current integration scope |
Write one supported journey from the source event to the destination record. Distinguish initial import from ongoing synchronization, and create a policy for duplicate records. Explain whether a deleted source record is deleted, archived or untouched in the other system. Link current setup documentation and identify who handles failures. Mark a proposed connector as a concept until access and behavior are verified.
Trace one changed record in each supported direction
For the fictional CRM connection, name the source record and the field that should update in the scheduler. Rehearse a supported change and a failure using synthetic data. If updates can travel both ways, define which system wins a conflict and how the responsible owner discovers it. Keep unsupported fields and billing data outside the stated integration scope.
Two-way updates need a conflict owner
Two-way synchronization can create conflicts if both systems edit the same field. Name the canonical owner for each shared value before promising that the records always stay aligned.
