🔒 API Stability & Change Policy

At First Resonance, we know that many of our customers build critical integrations on top of our API. Because of this, we take API stability seriously. Our philosophy is simple:

• Avoid breaking changes: Our first priority is to keep existing APIs stable.
• Change only to improve: Any changes we make are designed to simplify, clarify, or bring core functionality to the application.

How We Handle Changes

1. Non-Breaking Changes (Preferred)

• Adding new fields
• Expanding functionality in ways that do not affect existing calls

These changes require no customer action and are documented in our release notes.

2. Breaking Changes (Rare & Announced)

Sometimes, to improve consistency or remove ambiguity, a breaking change is unavoidable.

When this happens, we will:

• Announce changes in advance (14 days before production rollout).
• Explain why the change is necessary and what value it brings.
• Schedule deprecation after monitoring API usage.
• Provide before/after API examples.
• Communicate broadly through in-app notices, release notes, and updated documentation.

What This Means for You

• If you are building or maintaining integrations, you can rely on us to keep your workflows stable.
• When a change is required, you’ll always have time, guidance, and support to adjust.
• We encourage all customers to thoroughly pay attention to our release notes and API change alerts to stay up to date.

Example: How We Communicate Breaking Changes

Here’s what you can expect from us:

Breaking Change Notice – Effective July 28th
We are deprecating the Approved and Requested PO Line statuses. Going forward, all integrations should reference the Purchase Order status instead.
Action Required: Update any API calls, webhooks, or rules that use these statuses before July 28th.
Why this change? This simplifies the PO flow and avoids inconsistent status handling.
What’s next? See our migration guide here for examples and updated API payloads.

Our Commitment

• We avoid breaking changes whenever possible.
• We design changes to make your integrations easier and more reliable.
• We give you advance notice and clear actions if changes are required.
