Key takeaways
- Log failures—most issues are auth, webhooks, or rate limits.
- Stop duplicating records with idempotent webhook handling.
- Pixetech rescues integrations from $500.
Failed integrations feel like AI hype was the problem. Usually it is plumbing: tokens expired, payloads changed, or retries created duplicates.
Step 1: Capture logs for every failed sync for one week. Classify auth errors, 4xx/5xx, timeouts, and data validation failures.
Step 2: Map the happy path on a whiteboard—source system, transform, destination, and human approval steps.
Step 3: Fix auth properly (refresh tokens, scoped OAuth) instead of embedding long-lived secrets.
Step 4: Add idempotency keys and dead-letter queues for webhooks.
Step 5: Monitor with alerts before you re-enable full traffic.
If you are stuck after step 2, that is when founders call Pixetech. We specialize in integrations generic AI cannot finish.
