  • Write clean, modular, and maintainable code with robust error handling.
  • Create unit and integration tests using frameworks like Playwright.
  • Optimize API interactions through JSON manipulation, schema validation, batch operations, caching, and exponential backoff for retries.
  • Write clear and comprehensive documentation for node usage, including parameters, examples, and sample workflows.
  • Collaborate with team members to ensure the connector meets user experience requirements, such as intuitive parameter labels and conditional fields.
  • Follow best practices for secure credential management, input sanitization, and dependency audits.
  • Optionally, implement webhook support for real-time integrations and observability features like logging metrics.
