Writing Integrations

Prerequisites

TypeScript knowledge
Understanding of the service you’re integrating
API documentation for the service

Step 1: Create Integration Folder

Create a new folder in packages/integration-platform/src/manifests/:

mkdir -p packages/integration-platform/src/manifests/your-service
cd packages/integration-platform/src/manifests/your-service

File structure:

your-service/
├── index.ts           # Manifest definition
├── types.ts           # TypeScript types
├── checks/
│   ├── index.ts       # Export all checks
│   └── your-check.ts  # Individual checks
└── helpers/           # Optional: API client helpers
    └── api-client.ts

Step 2: Define Types

Create types.ts for the integration’s data structures:

// Service-specific types
export interface YourServiceUser {
  id: string;
  email: string;
  twoFactorEnabled: boolean;
}

export interface YourServiceCredentials {
  access_token?: string; // For OAuth
  api_key?: string;      // For API key auth
}

Step 3: Create the Manifest

Create index.ts:

import type { IntegrationManifest } from '../../types';
import { yourCheck } from './checks';

export const yourServiceManifest: IntegrationManifest = {
  id: 'your-service',
  name: 'Your Service',
  description: 'Monitor compliance in Your Service',
  category: 'Developer Tools',
  logoUrl: 'https://img.logo.dev/yourservice.com?token=pk_TOKEN',
  docsUrl: 'https://docs.yourservice.com/api',
  isActive: true,

  auth: {
    type: 'oauth2',
    config: {
      authorizeUrl: 'https://yourservice.com/oauth/authorize',
      tokenUrl: 'https://yourservice.com/oauth/token',
      scopes: ['read:users', 'read:security'],
      pkce: false,
      clientAuthMethod: 'body',
      supportsRefreshToken: true,
      authorizationParams: {
        access_type: 'offline',
      },
      setupInstructions: `Create an OAuth app at https://yourservice.com/apps`,
      createAppUrl: 'https://yourservice.com/apps/new',
    },
  },

  baseUrl: 'https://api.yourservice.com',
  defaultHeaders: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },

  capabilities: ['checks'],

  checks: [yourCheck],
};

Step 4: Write a Check

Create checks/your-check.ts:

import type { CheckContext, IntegrationCheck } from '../../../types';
import { TASK_TEMPLATES } from '../../../task-mappings';
import type { YourServiceUser } from '../types';

export const twoFactorCheck: IntegrationCheck = {
  id: 'two-factor-auth',
  name: '2FA Enabled',
  description: 'Verify all users have 2FA enabled',
  taskMapping: TASK_TEMPLATES['2fa'],
  defaultSeverity: 'high',
  variables: [],

  run: async (ctx: CheckContext) => {
    ctx.log('Checking 2FA status for all users');

    // Fetch users from API
    const users = await ctx.fetch<YourServiceUser[]>('/users');

    ctx.log(`Found ${users.length} users`);

    // Check each user
    for (const user of users) {
      if (!user.twoFactorEnabled) {
        ctx.fail({
          title: `2FA Disabled for ${user.email}`,
          resourceType: 'user',
          resourceId: user.id,
          severity: 'high',
          description: `User ${user.email} does not have 2FA enabled`,
          remediation: 'Enable 2FA in account settings',
          evidence: {
            userId: user.id,
            email: user.email,
            twoFactorEnabled: false,
          },
        });
      }
    }

    const usersWithout2FA = users.filter((u) => !u.twoFactorEnabled).length;

    if (usersWithout2FA === 0) {
      ctx.pass({
        title: 'All Users Have 2FA',
        resourceType: 'users',
        resourceId: 'all',
        description: `All ${users.length} users have 2FA enabled`,
        evidence: { totalUsers: users.length },
      });
    }

    ctx.log(`Check complete: ${usersWithout2FA} users without 2FA`);
  },
};

Step 5: Add Variables (Optional)

If your check needs user configuration:

const targetReposVariable: CheckVariable = {
  id: 'target_repos',
  label: 'Repositories to Monitor',
  type: 'multi-select',
  required: true,
  helpText: 'Select which repositories to check',
  
  // Dynamic options from API
  fetchOptions: async (ctx) => {
    const repos = await ctx.fetch<Repo[]>('/repos');
    return repos.map((r) => ({
      value: r.name,
      label: r.full_name,
    }));
  },
};

export const yourCheck: IntegrationCheck = {
  id: 'repo-check',
  variables: [targetReposVariable],
  
  run: async (ctx) => {
    const targetRepos = ctx.variables.target_repos as string[];
    // Only check selected repos
  },
};

Step 6: Register the Manifest

Add to packages/integration-platform/src/registry/index.ts:

import { yourServiceManifest } from '../manifests/your-service';

export const registry: IntegrationRegistry = {
  // ... existing integrations
  'your-service': yourServiceManifest,
};

Step 7: Test It

Start dev servers:
bun run dev
Configure OAuth (if using OAuth):
- Go to /admin/integrations
- Find your integration → Configure OAuth
- Add Client ID/Secret
Connect the integration:
- Go to /integrations
- Find your integration
- Click “Connect”
- Authorize (if OAuth) or enter credentials
Run checks:
- Go to /cloud-tests (if it’s a cloud provider)
- Or go to a task page and run the integration check
- Verify findings appear correctly
Check logs:
- Look at API terminal for check execution logs
- Verify no errors

Common Patterns

Pagination

// Auto-pagination (OAuth with standardized pagination)
const allItems = await ctx.fetchAllPages<Item>('/items');

// Manual pagination
let items: Item[] = [];
let page = 1;

while (true) {
  const response = await ctx.fetch<{ data: Item[]; hasMore: boolean }>(
    `/items?page=${page}`
  );
  items.push(...response.data);
  if (!response.hasMore) break;
  page++;
}

Error Handling

try {
  const data = await ctx.fetch('/endpoint');
  // Process data
} catch (error) {
  const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error);
  
  // Handle specific errors
  if (errorMessage.includes('PERMISSION_DENIED')) {
    ctx.fail({
      title: 'Permission Denied',
      resourceType: 'api',
      resourceId: 'access',
      severity: 'high',
      description: 'Your account lacks necessary permissions',
      remediation: 'Grant [specific role] in provider settings',
      evidence: { error: errorMessage },
    });
    return;
  }
  
  // Generic error
  ctx.log(`Error: ${errorMessage}`);
}

Multiple Checks

// checks/index.ts
export { check1 } from './check-1';
export { check2 } from './check-2';
export { check3 } from './check-3';

// index.ts
import { check1, check2, check3 } from './checks';

export const manifest: IntegrationManifest = {
  // ...
  checks: [check1, check2, check3],
};

Best Practices

Do’s

Use descriptive IDs: branch-protection, not check1
Map to tasks: Use taskMapping to auto-complete tasks
Friendly errors: Convert API errors to user-friendly messages
Log liberally: Use ctx.log() for debugging
Handle missing data: Not all orgs have all resources
Paginate when needed: Don’t assume small datasets
Type everything: Use TypeScript types for API responses

Don’ts

Don’t expose raw API errors to users in descriptions
Don’t assume variables exist: Check for undefined
Don’t use console.log: Use ctx.log() instead
Don’t create findings for missing resources: Just log it
Don’t hardcode URLs: Use baseUrl in manifest
Don’t skip error handling: Wrap API calls in try/catch

Examples to Reference

Integration	Type	Good for learning
GitHub	OAuth	Dynamic variables, pagination, multiple checks

AWS	Custom	Complex credentials, error handling
Azure	Custom	Multi-field credentials, API error mapping
Linear	OAuth	Simple OAuth, GraphQL
Vercel	OAuth	Project scoping, deployment checks

All integration source code is in packages/integration-platform/src/manifests/.
