Set API credentials

Integration Manager Basics focuses on integration manager basics, token setups, webhook registrations, and test runs. In AWRA, integrations and API managers connect the core workspace with external platforms such as QuickBooks, Paystack, and client custom systems.

The primary objective is database alignment and secure communication. Integration admins should test mappings and webhook secrets before wide deployment.

In practice, a system administrator accesses the integration panel, generates a new API token, and triggers a test webhook.

Token setup path

1

Register

Create client profile and select integration template.

2

Token

Generate client API key and assign access scopes.

3

Webhook

Configure target webhook URL and signature secret.

4

Verify

Trigger test payload and confirm success.

Integration model

  • API keys must specify narrow scopes and expire regularly.
  • Webhooks require signature validation and retry limits.
  • OAuth integrations must handle token refresh routines.
  • Always verify model mappings in staging before sync runs.

Configure webhook settings

The operating routine is to generate integration client tokens, configure webhook endpoints, monitor test deliveries, and manage keys rotation. That sequence prevents data drift and keeps endpoints compliant with security standards.

Before saving updates, check client identifiers, API scopes, webhook URLs, signature secrets, and delivery logs. These safety checks protect access tokens, client credentials, and database schema mappings.

An administrator can verify endpoint delivery logs, check sync queues, or run reconciliation reports directly from the integrations console.

Integration triage table

Signal Check Action
New key request Verify business justification and scopes Generate API key and send via secure vault
Webhook delivery fail Check response code status details Analyze payloads and prompt client developer
Key compromise alert Check access IP records Revoke active token and alert system owner
Test delivery success Check payload matches format Publish integration status to active

Admin decisions

  • Restrict credentials access to certified system admins.
  • Verify webhook authenticity using request signatures.
  • Audit sync logs regularly to catch record anomalies.
  • Reconcile account mappings during monthly closes.

Execute test deliveries

Integration modifications and credentials updates should leave proof. Useful evidence includes API key registries, webhook config sheets, test logs, and revocation histories, which is required for security reviews and ledger audits.

Management should review integration health: sync error counts, webhook delivery delays, and API throttle hits indicate connector optimization needs.

In practice, closure means API key is active, webhook validates signature, test delivery passes, and settings save.

Integration basics checklist

API token is generated
Scopes are constrained
Webhook secret is saved
Test run passes cleanly
Key rotation is scheduled

Oversight validation

  • Confirm that API keys audits record token rotations.
  • Verify that webhook endpoints respond with 200 OK.
  • Validate that external IDs map cleanly to records.
  • Ensure sync reconciliation summaries match balances.
