Summary

In the Prismatic embedded integration marketplace, tracking the activation and deactivation of integrations, known as instances, is crucial for automating various business processes such as accounting, onboarding, and application functionality. By utilizing instance deploy and instance remove triggers, these actions can be managed efficiently, ensuring that the necessary steps—like setting up webhooks, managing permissions, and updating billing systems—are executed automatically. This automation not only aids in accurate billing and customer support but also assists the application in determining when and where to send data. The deploy trigger initiates a series of tasks when an instance is activated, while the remove trigger handles the clean-up when an instance is deactivated. Additionally, the system allows for notification setups to keep teams informed about instance statuses, enhancing workflow efficiency. The overall process ensures that integration management remains seamless and that changes in instance configurations are handled without disruptions, as long as the deploy flow is idempotent.
