VerificationConfirm the saved record, status, output or setting in the same workspace and review any linked activity, file or notification.

Code-backed validations and workflow rules

  • The module metadata identifies version 1.0.0 and requires CRM 3.2.* or later.
  • The bundled Composer definition requires PHP 8.1 or later.
  • The module registers provider key openai and adds OpenAI as a child of the existing AI settings group.

Expected result and verification

  • The supported openai integration module overview flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
  • The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
  • Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.

Security, privacy and operational checks

  • Restrict the API key and AI settings to authorised administrators.
  • Do not submit confidential, special-category or unnecessary personal data to the external AI provider.
  • Review generated text before using it in customer, staff, legal, financial or compliance communication.
  • Monitor provider billing and retention independently because this module has no built-in cost dashboard.
