Why is an in-house integration missing?
In-house sources appear only when the related module is enabled.
Installed, but no data appears. Why?
Finish the setup, run the connection test, then select the source where it is used.
Is any integration two-way?
No. Integrations bring information into Station Clipboard and do not write back.
