Back up an integration with a snapshot

You can create snapshots when you’re making changes to an integration. A snapshot is a copy of an integration at a certain point in time. Consider it a backup of your integration that you can revert to if you run into issues. You might want to create a snapshot in the following scenarios:

• When you’re handing off your integration to a new user
• When you’re going to make major (or minor) changes to your integration
• When your developer or other technical resource is going to edit your integration

Snapshots are automatically generated when you create a clone, pull, review, or merge changes, and revert your revision. If you want to use the integrator.io REST API, the integration API endpoint is capable of creating snapshots on demand or automatically whenever you change your integration.
