AppFolio CI Integration

Overview

Configure CI pipelines that validate AppFolio property management API integrations using a two-tier strategy. Unit tests mock the AppFolio REST client to verify tenant lookup, work order creation, and property listing logic without consuming API quota. Integration tests run against the AppFolio sandbox environment on main-branch merges only, using Basic Auth credentials stored as GitHub secrets. This keeps PR feedback fast and free while catching real API contract drift before production deploys.

Prerequisites

• A repository with Actions enabled, a locked dependency install, and unit tests that use only synthetic tenant, property, and work-order fixtures.
• A separately managed AppFolio sandbox credential and a pre-provisioned, non-production fixture record that the integration owner is allowed to read.
• Defined CI ownership, a fixed request budget, and an incident path for credential rotation, provider outage, or sandbox data reset.
