Thank you for responding so promptly! That seems quite interesting :).

Diff data + new data definitely seem what 90% of your customers will need.

Another quick question: When you say "Job Success/Failure", what's a job?

_Full disclosure: I work at LeadSimple <https://www.leadsimple.com> and we integrate with most of these companies ourselves, and these questions were just me being interested in knowing how you solved (or intend to solve) some of the same problems we had to solve when integrating with them :)_

Of course, since we are not a pass-through API, our tech is set up as an async ETL. So a job represents a unit of work for Propify either fetching data from or pushing data to a PMS. You can track jobs to understand the lifecycle of your requests and overall status of your integrations.
Oh, got it, because you'll save any POST/PATCH request and try updating it in the PMS in case they've been down. That's cool, thank you for clarifying that :)
