Confirm resource availability, save task IDs, and handle timeout states before scaling the workflow.
6. API integration checklist
Prepare an API key, request parameters, polling interval, timeout strategy, error handling, and task logs.
7. What to check when a code does not arrive

8. Cost control for bulk verification
Start with small tests, record success rate and cost, then disable service and country combinations that perform poorly.
Next step
If you already know the target service, test a small number of console tasks first. If you need automation, read the API docs and design retry logic before scaling.
