Best Practices

Security

• Never share your integration token publicly or in code
• Create separate integrations for development and production
• Only share necessary pages with the integration (principle of least privilege)
• Regularly audit which pages are shared with integrations
• Revoke and regenerate tokens periodically

Organization

• Use consistent naming conventions for pages created by Marin
• Create dedicated databases for AI-generated content
• Set up templates for common page types
• Use properties and tags to organize AI-created content

Performance

• Share only the pages and databases you need
• Avoid creating duplicate pages (use search first)
• Batch related operations when possible
• Keep page content focused and structured
