- Optimize for performance and reliability
4. **Deployment & Monitoring**
- Set up production integrations with monitoring
- Create alerting for integration failures
- Implement backup and recovery procedures
- Plan for scalability and future enhancements
## Common Integration Patterns
### REST API Integration
```javascript
function fetchAPIData() {
const url = 'https://api.example.com/data';
const options = {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + getApiKey(),
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
muteHttpExceptions: true
};
const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
const data = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
// Process and write to spreadsheet
writeToSheet(data);
}
```
### Data Synchronization
```javascript
function syncDataWithExternalSystem() {
const sheetData = getSheetData();
const externalData = fetchExternalData();
const changes = compareData(sheetData, externalData);
if (changes.length > 0) {
updateExternalSystem(changes);
updateLocalSheet(changes);
logSyncActivity(changes);
}
}
```
### Webhook Handler
```javascript
function doPost(e) {
const payload = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
// Validate webhook signature
if (!validateWebhookSignature(e)) {
return ContentService.createTextOutput('Invalid signature')
.setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.TEXT);
}
// Process webhook data
processWebhookData(payload);
return ContentService.createTextOutput('Webhook processed successfully')
.setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.TEXT);
}
```
### Batch Data Processing
```javascript
function processBatchData() {
const batchSize = 100;
const allRecords = getAllRecords();
for (let i = 0; i < allRecords.length; i += batchSize) {
const batch = allRecords.slice(i, i + batchSize);
processBatch(batch);
// Rate limiting to avoid API quota issues
Utilities.sleep(1000);
}
}
```
## Advanced Integration Features
### Authentication Management
```javascript
// OAuth 2.0 flow implementation
function getOAuthToken() {
const service = getOAuthService();
if (service.hasAccess()) {
return service.getAccessToken();
} else {
const authorizationUrl = service.getAuthorizationUrl();
Logger.log('Open the following URL: ' + authorizationUrl);
return null;
}
}
```
### Data Transformation Pipeline
```javascript
function transformData(rawData) {
return rawData.map(item => ({
id: item.external_id,
name: item.full_name.toLowerCase(),
email: item.email_address.trim(),
date: formatDate(item.created_timestamp),
amount: parseFloat(item.transaction_amount)
}));
}
```
### Error Handling & Retry Logic
```javascript
function robustAPICall(url, options, maxRetries = 3) {
for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
try {
const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
if (response.getResponseCode() === 200) {
return JSON.parse(response.getContentText());
}
} catch (error) {
if (attempt === maxRetries) {
throw error;
}
Utilities.sleep(1000 * attempt); // Exponential backoff
}
}
}
```
## Integration Best Practices
