Delivered messages do not prove order approval; failed messages do not cancel purchases. Mixing states creates rework and incorrect replies. Integration scope must preserve both histories independently.
Choose the operating model before requesting a quote
Compare simple notifications with operational failure tracking. Tracking helps where communication matters and needs resend ownership. Confirm channel rules, permissions and provider capabilities before promising automation.
Confirm available states with the provider and authorized account rather than promising signals the integration never receives. Interfaces must indicate unknown outcomes. Teams need operational actions for communication failures, but must not create another order merely to resend a notification already linked to an existing commercial request.
Requirements to include in the proposal
- Separate commercial status from message transmission and receipt events
- Review communication failures without automatically recreating the underlying purchase
- Keep notification content consistent with the current order revision
An acceptance test for this specific purchase
Simulate a confirmed order with a failed message and a delivered notice concerning pending assessment. Show distinct situations and allow communication corrections without changing commercial conditions or recording approval that never occurred.
