It fails silently
The demo worked, so nobody built the failure path. Months later a webhook has been dropping records since an upstream schema change, and the first sign of it is a number that does not reconcile.
API integration and automation
without creating a system nobody can debug.
API integration and automation work connects the systems your business already runs: CRM, payments, analytics, publishing, and the internal tools in between. Gatilab builds the error handling and the logging first, because an integration that works on a good day and fails silently on a bad one is worse than no integration.
850+ clients served
$38M+ in client revenue influenced
10,000+ sites running our plugins
Delivery is remote, with calls in IST. You keep the code, the accounts, and every login in your own name.
Where this work usually goes wrong.
Three failures account for most of what we get asked to rescue. All 3 are scoping problems wearing technical costumes.
The automation became the documentation
Logic spread across a low-code tool, a plugin, and a cron job is logic nobody can read. When the person who built it leaves, the business process leaves with them.
Every system holds a different truth
Without deciding which system owns which field, the CRM, the store, and the spreadsheet all disagree, and each team trusts the one that agrees with them.
What you can actually buy.
Six pieces of work, each scoped on its own. Most engagements start with one and add the others once the first has paid for itself.
CRM and sales integrations
Leads, deals, and lifecycle data moving between your site and your CRM with deduplication and field mapping settled before anything is written.

Payment and billing integrations
Razorpay, Stripe, and gateway work including the parts that get skipped: webhooks, refunds, retries, and reconciliation against what actually settled.

Analytics and data pipelines
Events defined against the real funnel, sent server-side where it matters, and landing somewhere you can query rather than only view.

Internal tool and ERP connections
Inventory, fulfilment, accounting, and support systems connected with a clear owner for each field and a sync direction that is written down.

Workflow automation
The repetitive handoffs between systems automated, with the logic in one readable place instead of scattered across 3 tools.

Observability and error handling
Retries with backoff, dead-letter handling, structured logs, and alerts that reach a person. This is the part that decides whether the integration is trustworthy.

How this is priced.
Prices are in rupees and exclude tax. The scoping sprint is a fixed fee and comes off the build price if you go ahead.
Scoping sprint
from ₹27,000
For teams who need a real number and a written plan before committing to a build.
- A read of the existing code, data, and hosting
- Risks and unknowns named rather than buried
- A scope with the assumptions written down
- Yours to take elsewhere if you want
The fee comes off the build price if you go ahead with us.
Build
Quoted
For a defined set of integrations with the failure paths built in.
- Field ownership and sync direction agreed in writing
- Retries, backoff, and dead-letter handling
- Structured logging and alerting to a named person
- Runbook covering what to do when an upstream fails
If the work does not warrant a build, we quote the smaller fix instead.
Retainer
Quoted
For businesses whose integrations carry revenue and need watching.
- Monitoring and incident response on the integrations
- Upstream API change tracking and updates
- New connections as the stack grows
Month to month. A contract you cannot leave is a hostage situation.
Development and consulting are delivered remotely, so location changes meeting times and payment method rather than price. Hosting is never resold.
What we build with.
Chosen because they stay maintainable for whoever comes after us, not because they are new. If your team already runs something else and it works, we work in it.

Four stages, each ending in something you can hold.
Overruns come from work nobody scoped. Every stage produces an artifact you check before the next one starts.
- 01
Scope it honestly
We read what already exists before quoting. Most of the risk in this kind of work is invisible from the outside, so pricing it without looking is a guess dressed as a number.
You leave with: a written scope with the assumptions and risks named
- 02
Build on staging
Work happens on an environment your team can reach, reviewed weekly. You see it grow rather than getting a reveal at the end and a week to react.
You leave with: a staging URL you can click through as it grows
- 03
Ship with the failure paths
Error handling, logging, and rollback are built with the feature, not after it. The question is never whether something fails, it is whether you find out before your customers do.
You leave with: monitoring, alerting, and a rollback path that has been tested
- 04
Hand it over properly
Documentation your next hire can read, every account in your name, and a dependency list short enough to maintain.
You leave with: documentation, credentials, and no lock-in
Worth booking, or worth looking elsewhere.
Vague quotes do the most damage in exactly this kind of work. Half of this list is reasons we say no.
Worth booking
- The work carries revenue, or the leads that produce it
- You can name 1 person who approves technical decisions
- You want the unknowns quoted rather than discovered
- You would rather hear a scope is uncertain than get a confident wrong number
- You want to keep owning your code, hosting, and accounts
Look elsewhere
- Your budget is under ₹27,000. Below that we cannot look properly, and work quoted without looking is a guess.
- You want a fixed price before anyone has read what exists. Whoever gives you one is pricing in the risk, and you are paying for it.
- You need it live in 2 weeks. Compressed timelines move the risk rather than removing it.
- You want us to host it. We do not resell hosting, on purpose.
- You want the cheapest possible option. That is a real choice, and it is not what we are for.
Questions, answered.
Scope, cost, ownership, and the cases where we are the wrong choice.
Can you work with our existing low-code automations?
Yes. Zapier and Make are genuinely the right tool for low-volume, low-consequence work. We move logic into code when volume, cost, or debuggability starts arguing for it, and we will tell you when it does not.
What happens when the upstream API changes?
With a retainer, we track their changelogs and update before it breaks. Without one, the build still fails loudly rather than silently: structured logs, alerts, and dead-letter handling mean you find out from us or your dashboard, not from a reconciliation gap.
How do you handle payment reconciliation?
Webhooks as the source of truth, idempotency keys so a retry cannot double-charge, and a reconciliation check against what the gateway actually settled. Refunds and partial captures are scoped explicitly because they are where most integrations quietly diverge.
Is this different from the WordPress API integration page?
That page covers integrations inside WordPress specifically. This one covers connecting systems across your business, including cases where WordPress is not involved at all.
