API Integration
The skill of connecting software systems through their application programming interfaces — building, maintaining, and troubleshooting data flows between CRM, marketing, billing, and analytics platforms.
Day-to-day use
Writing REST API calls to sync data between Salesforce and billing systems, debugging webhook failures, reading API documentation to understand object models and authentication, and building middleware logic to transform data between schemas.
Typical tasks
- ·Building a Salesforce-to-NetSuite closed-won sync
- ·creating a Stripe webhook handler that updates MRR in Snowflake
- ·debugging a Marketo-to-Salesforce lead sync field mismatch
- ·documenting API integration architecture
Business outcome
Reliable API integrations eliminate manual data re-entry, reduce reporting lag, ensure system-of-record consistency, and allow the revenue tech stack to operate as one coherent system.
