Your call operation may need to work with tools your team already uses. API access gives developers a controlled way to build those connections around supported account operations. 01 #### Create access for a specific purpose Give each connection a clear job, such as reading reporting data or supporting an internal workflow. Review the account access it actually needs. 02 #### Keep control of the connection Manage API keys and revoke access when a connection is retired or a key should no longer be used. Treat keys as credentials, not information to share in public. 03 #### Plan the workflow before implementation Decide which records need to move, which system owns the next step, and how the team will review failures. An API is a building block for a connection, not a ready-made integration with every tool.
