Integration Guide
A conceptual path for integrating Vestval into your stack — from planning to production.
Overview
A successful integration is planned, not improvised. This guide describes the phases of integrating Vestval — scoping, authentication, building against the API, handling events and going to production — so teams can sequence the work with confidence.
It is deliberately conceptual: the specifics depend on which products you enable, but the shape of a robust integration is consistent.
What this covers
Scope the integration
Define the data and events you need before writing code.
Authenticate
Provision scoped credentials following least privilege.
Build against the API
Use SDKs where available and handle pagination and errors up front.
Handle events
Subscribe to webhooks for real-time behavior instead of polling.
Test in staging
Validate against a non-production environment before go-live.
Go to production
Roll out with monitoring, rate-limit awareness and a rollback plan.
How it works
- 1
Scope the data and events your integration needs.
- 2
Provision scoped credentials and authenticate.
- 3
Build against the API, ideally via an SDK, handling errors and pagination.
- 4
Subscribe to the relevant webhooks and make handlers idempotent.
- 5
Validate in a staging environment.
- 6
Promote to production with monitoring and a rollback plan.
