Troubleshooting Integrations

Common Issues

Authentication Failures

Symptoms: 401/403 errors, connection refused Solutions:

  1. Verify credentials are correct and current
  2. Check token expiration and refresh
  3. Confirm API permissions and scopes
  4. Review IP whitelisting and firewall rules

Rate Limiting

Symptoms: 429 errors, delayed notifications Solutions:

  1. Implement exponential backoff
  2. Reduce notification frequency
  3. Use batch API endpoints when available
  4. Contact provider for rate limit increases

Data Format Issues

Symptoms: Parsing errors, missing data Solutions:

  1. Validate JSON/XML payload format
  2. Check field mappings and transformations
  3. Review API version compatibility
  4. Test with sample data

Integration Testing

Testing Checklist

yaml
Integration Testing:
