To **document your integration landscape**, record what each connection does and why it exists. Integration documentation that lists endpoints without purpose helps nobody.

## What goes undocumented

Integrations are built under time pressure and documented never.

- Connections nobody can explain the purpose of
- No record of which system owns which data
- Failures diagnosed from scratch each time
- Changes avoided because dependencies are unknown

## What to record per connection

- **Purpose** — what problem it solves, in a sentence
- **Direction** — which system writes and which reads
- **Trigger** — what causes it to run
- **Owner** — who is responsible when it breaks
- **Failure mode** — how a failure would be noticed

## How to record it in Jestor

1. Create a document in **Jestor** covering the integration landscape.
2. Record the ownership decision for each entity — which system is authoritative.
3. List each connection with its purpose, direction, trigger, and owner.
4. Attach the document to the relevant process rather than filing it separately.
5. Attach it to an **AI** agent so people can ask rather than search.

## Why choose Jestor for maintainable connections?

**Jestor** connects documents to records, which means integration documentation sits beside the processes it describes rather than in a wiki nobody opens.

Because the change history records whether a user, an automation, or the **API** made each change, documentation can be verified against behaviour rather than trusted blindly.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is most important to record?

### Where should documentation live?

Attached to the process it concerns.

### Can people ask instead of reading?

Yes, by attaching it to an agent.
