Introduction

Integrating with Epycbyte offers a powerful way to enhance your applications and services. This guide walks you through the process of creating, managing, and optimizing your integrations.

Understanding Native Integrations

Native integrations allow seamless communication between your application and Epycbyte. These integrations are designed to simplify API interactions, making it easier for developers to integrate Epycbyte features into their projects.

Creating an Integration

To create a new integration:

1. Navigate to the Integrations Console.
2. Click on Create Integration.
3. Fill in the required details:
   • Integration Name: A unique identifier for your integration.
   • Description: Provide a brief description of what the integration does.

Create Integration Form Details

The integration form includes several key fields to ensure your integration is fully configured:

• Documentation: Attach any relevant documentation to help users understand how to use your integration.
• Deploy Button: If applicable, create a button that deploys your integration from a Git repository.
• Support Email: Provide an email address for users to contact you with support queries.

Create Product Form Details

When creating a product form:

1. Ensure the form includes all necessary fields such as:
   • Product Name: The name of your product or service.
   • Description: A concise overview of what the product does.
   • Versioning: Include version numbers to track updates and improvements.

After Integration Creation

Once your integration is created, you can:

• View Logs: Use the View Logs button to monitor integration performance and troubleshoot issues.
• Update Status: Track the status of your integration in the Integrations Console.

Connectable Account Integrations

Connectable account integrations allow users to link their accounts securely. Ensure your integration supports multiple account types, such as individual user accounts or organizational accounts.

Viewing Created Integrations

To view all created integrations:

1. Go to the Integrations Console.
2. Click on View Integration to see the live URL and status of each integration.

Community Badge

Once your integration is submitted, a Community badge will appear in the Integrations Console. This badge indicates that your integration is community-driven and supported by its developers.

Installation Flow

Designing an effective installation flow is crucial for developer experience:

• New User Flow: Allow users to create accounts while installing.
• Existing User Flow: Enable sign-in during installation without disrupting existing workflows.
• Forgotten Password Flow: Ensure this doesn’t interfere with the installation process.
• Defaults and Advanced Settings: Provide sensible defaults and allow overrides.

Integration Support

As an integration creator, you are responsible for providing support. Ensure your response times meet Epycbyte’s standards and include detailed support documentation in your integration details.
