  • Follow the exact route above. If the screen or action is absent, check module activation, ownership and permissions rather than using another person’s account.
  • Use controlled test data for configuration, integration, email, AI, payment, portal or automation changes before production-wide use.

Rules the system enforces

  • AiProviderRegistry::registerProvider registers key openai with a new OpenAiProvider instance.
  • The module relies on core CRM AI feature surfaces; it does not add a separate chat page.

How to confirm it worked

  • The supported understand the openai provider registry key 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.
  • Check 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.
