Troubleshooting Integrations
Common Issues
Authentication Failures
Symptoms: 401/403 errors, connection refused Solutions:
- Verify credentials are correct and current
- Check token expiration and refresh
- Confirm API permissions and scopes
- Review IP whitelisting and firewall rules
Rate Limiting
Symptoms: 429 errors, delayed notifications Solutions:
- Implement exponential backoff
- Reduce notification frequency
- Use batch API endpoints when available
- Contact provider for rate limit increases
Data Format Issues
Symptoms: Parsing errors, missing data Solutions:
- Validate JSON/XML payload format
- Check field mappings and transformations
- Review API version compatibility
- Test with sample data
Integration Testing
Testing Checklist
yamlIntegration Testing: Pre-deployment: - Credential validation - Network connectivity - API endpoint availability - Payload format validation Post-deployment: - Send test notifications - Verify data delivery - Check error handling - Monitor performance metrics Ongoing Monitoring: - Integration health checks - Error rate monitoring - Performance tracking - User feedback collection
