• {{constraints}} — any limitations like budget, timeline, or technical restrictions.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context from the list above before proceeding.
2. Outline a step-by-step integration plan, including data mapping, API connections, and testing phases.
3. Identify potential integration challenges (e.g., data sync issues, security) and propose mitigation strategies.
4. Suggest metrics to measure integration success, such as data accuracy and time saved.
5. Recommend additional systems worth integrating for maximum efficiency, if relevant.

Output format Provide a structured plan with sections: Integration Overview, Step-by-Step Plan, Challenges & Mitigations, Success Metrics, and Additional Recommendations. Use bullet points and keep the tone professional and concise.
