Summary

Merge's Cookie Policy outlines the use of cookies to enhance user experience and requires user consent for data collection as described in their Privacy Policy. The text discusses the challenge of mixed-functionality when building integration-first products, particularly the difficulty in creating interactive applications like organization charts due to limitations in HR systems' data structures. Merge suggests building an adaptive UI that adjusts to the capabilities of each platform, using their Unified API to maximize functionality and support a wider customer base. This approach involves utilizing the "Available Actions" endpoint to determine what features can be leveraged for each customer integration, enabling a custom user interface that accurately reflects the user's chosen platform. Merge emphasizes their commitment to staying updated with evolving APIs to ease the integration process, offering a solution that adapts to new functionalities and reduces the burden on developers.
