Software platforms can make important events understandable outside their own dashboards. Connect APIs to issue signed records and give customers a consistent way to inspect the evidence shared with them.

## Business SaaS: Give customers a receipt for an important action

Customers often depend on a screenshot to show that an application action occurred.

### What to record

Create a signed receipt with the action type, application reference, responsible identity, and relevant outcome reported by your service.

### What to review

Allow authorized recipients to inspect the receipt and compare it with the application’s own records.

### The outcome

A portable record of the specific event your service reported.

## Cloud engineering: Tie a deployment approval to an artifact

A release name alone may not identify the exact build that passed review.

### What to record

Record the build fingerprint, test-evidence references, approving identity, and deployment event reported by the connected pipeline.

### What to review

Compare the proposed artifact with the reviewed build and investigate changes before authorized deployment proceeds.

### The outcome

A clearer connection between a deployed build and its release evidence.

## Data platforms: Make a customer export checkable

A downloaded dataset can be modified after it leaves the platform.

### What to record

Issue a signed manifest of export contents, file fingerprints, export parameters, and the responsible service identity.

### What to review

Compare received files against the manifest and request a fresh export when the contents do not match.

### The outcome

A source and integrity check for a customer’s exported package.

## Before you begin

Select meaningful events and define tenant boundaries before integration. A receipt includes only the context your application supplies and is authorized to share.
