Getting integrations becomes critical if you’re in the B2B space.
But prioritizing integrations in itself is a difficult task. Primarily because you compromise on building your App's core features.
Now suppose you've decided to focus on building integrations, so how do you build a roadmap?
Here's a quick summary:
- Figure out which apps make natural “adjacent” apps to yours. So your users can get lots of great value (like a CRM+Email Newsletter, Document signing+file storage, etc).
- Prioritize larger adjacent apps first. These are apps that have a large user base.
- Cross-promote your app with the integration partner’s audience
- Use 3rd party integration platforms to get 100s of integrations up and running quickly
- If you must develop integrations on your own, build embeddable integrations
- As a last resort, you may want to hire a software consultancy. They will build each integration for you but it’ll be the most expensive option.
Pro Tip: It's always great to involve your customers in this process and ask them what apps' they'd want to integrate!
