Integration Checklist

What should you consider before integrating CRM?

Successful integration is more than simply connecting two systems. Data ownership, synchronization rules, security and failure scenarios should be defined in advance.

What data will be transferred?

Instead of transferring everything, identify the fields and records that are actually required by the business process.

What is the direction of data?

Define whether data moves one way or both ways and which system is considered the primary source.

How often will data update?

Choose real-time, scheduled or event-based synchronization according to the business requirement.

How will access be authorized?

Use an authorization model that gives the integration access only to the data and actions it requires.

What happens when something fails?

Define how failed transfers, connection problems and invalid records will be handled before implementation.

How will results be monitored?

Define how integration status, success rates and data quality will be monitored over time.
