Separate adapters from the case workflow
A carrier adapter translates an external message into a normalized status and requirement update. The case and exception engines then apply their own transition and ownership rules. This separation lets partner-specific mappings evolve without embedding them throughout the core workflow.
Agree on the contract before connecting
A technical evaluation should establish the permitted organizations, application identifiers, event semantics, and failure behavior before any production exchange begins.
- Identity, membership, and resource authorization.
- Status mappings, message identifiers, timestamps, and correlation references.
- Duplicate handling, retries, monitoring, and operational ownership.
Evaluate with fictional records first
The public sandbox demonstrates fixture-based carrier events and a CSV mapping preview. It does not provide partner credentials, import real records, or connect to an external carrier. Use it to discuss the intended workflow before a scoped technical pilot.
