As you add more integrations, managing them will become increasingly complex.
Here are some of the key challenges of integration management and how Merge can help solve them:
Authentication: Managing different authentication methods for various APIs can consume significant engineering time. Merge simplifies this with just two primary protocols - Merge API Key and Linked Account Token - for all integrations, ensuring secure and straightforward authentication.
Integration Maintenance: Companies and APIs evolve, and maintaining integrations can be challenging. A unified API not only builds integrations but also takes responsibility for long-term maintenance, ensuring responsive customer service and timely updates.
Rate Limits: Managing thousands or millions of API calls daily requires careful consideration of rate limits. Merge's mission-critical rate limiting ensures smooth integration performance.
Logs: Understanding and searching logs across multiple integrations can be challenging with diverse APIs. Merge provides fully searchable logs and developer-focused functionality like debug_mode for easier troubleshooting.
Issues: Handling common issues like expired API keys or permission changes requires efficient tooling. Merge's unified API offers full Issues dashboards and tools to diagnose and resolve problems quickly.
