# Enhance Your Integration

How to add new functionality, certify additional operations, or migrate an existing SiteMinder integration.

This guide is for partners who are already certified and live on SiteMinder and want to add new functionality to their existing integration. If you're starting a new integration from scratch, see [Integration Process](/get-started/partner-lifecycle/integration-process.md).

{% hint style="success" %}
**Enhancement timelines** vary based on the complexity of the new functionality being added. Simple feature additions may take 2-3 weeks, while more complex enhancements requiring a pilot can take 4-6 weeks. Review the relevant documentation for the new features early to streamline the process.
{% endhint %}

### Request

To get started, complete the [SiteMinder Test Environment Access Form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfgubeWfac9QiGMWEQg090Yg_G3dvzleBjPbbm9N5IVTyB-_A/viewform) selecting the API you're already certified for, **New Functionality Enhancement**, and the functionalities you want to implement.

{% hint style="info" %}
As part of your enhancement, we'll review your existing integration to confirm it's compatible with the new functionality and identify any improvements that keep your connection current and reliable.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Development

Once we've set up your test account, you'll receive your credentials and full access to start development. This is your main development window where you'll build and test your integration using our test environment.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Certification

You'll execute our certification test scenarios to ensure everything works as expected. This includes checking edge cases and verifying your integration meets all our standards.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Live

Your integration is now fully operational. We'll notify our internal teams, and you can start onboarding properties according to your partnership agreement.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://developer.siteminder.com/get-started/partner-lifecycle/enhance-your-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
