Q: What counts as a system integration? A: Connecting tools so they share data: WordPress ↔ CRM, website forms ↔ email automation, chat/DMs ↔ ticketing, payments ↔ invoicing, Sheets ↔ reporting, and automation engines tying it all together.Q: Do integrations always require custom code? A: Not always. Many can be done via APIs and automation platforms. Custom code is used when reliability, security, or unique business rules require it.Q: How do you decide the right architecture? A: We start from the process and data flow: what is the source of truth, what systems need to read/write, what must be logged, and what happens when something fails.Q: How do you prevent vendor lock-in? A: We document the system, keep data portable, avoid unnecessary proprietary features, and design integrations around standard APIs and clean data models.Q: What about authentication and security? A: We use proper API keys/OAuth, least-privilege access, and secure storage of credentials. For business-critical setups, we add logs and monitoring.Q: Can you integrate with Google Workspace, CRM, and payment tools? A: Yes — Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Sheets, plus common CRMs and payment providers depending on your stack. The specific tool choice affects effort, but the integration principles stay the same.Q: What do you deliver? A: A working integration, documentation (data map + flow diagrams), error handling rules, and a handover checklist so it can be maintained.
