Self-Healing
The ability of an integration to detect when an upstream API changes and repair itself automatically, without human intervention.
When a connected system changes its API — a field is renamed, an endpoint moves, a version is incremented — a conventional integration breaks. Someone is paged, an engineer diagnoses the breakage, rebuilds the connector, tests it, and redeploys.
A self-healing integration does this itself. Ngentix continuously evaluates every response from a connected system, detects when the shape of the data has drifted from the registered mapping, re-infers the schema, rebuilds the connector, and re-tests it. The result is a log entry, not an incident.
If a change genuinely cannot be resolved within the configured attempt budget, the engine escalates with a precise, actionable diagnostic rather than a generic failure.
