User to developer handoff
Who this is for
This page is for admins, operators, product managers, and AI agents who need to move from manual product usage into API-driven or event-driven implementation.
Before you start
- Confirm the business workflow already works manually inside the product.
- Define which account or workspace will own the automation.
- Decide whether the developer needs API keys, domain context, naming conventions, or audit expectations before implementation starts.
What to do — Prepare a developer automation handoff
- Document the exact manual workflow you want to automate, such as link creation, QR creation, or campaign packaging.
- Record the user-facing constraints that matter: naming rules, domain choices, lifecycle settings, plan limits, and approval expectations.
- Create or review the necessary API key in the account settings if the integration requires one.
- Send the implementation team to the developer docs with the operational context already defined.
- Keep ownership clear after launch so key rotation, audit review, and failure handling are not left between teams.
Use it well — Handoff planning best practices
- A developer handoff is strongest when the workflow already works manually. Do not use automation to hide unresolved product or governance confusion.
- Keep business rules explicit. Developers should not have to infer which domain, naming pattern, or expiry model the user intended.
- When a future capability is still on the roadmap, flag that clearly before implementation starts.
