Considerations

  • Data Integrity: Ensure that the project ID, service ID, and document IDs are correctly specified to avoid errors during processing.
  • Processing Options: Use the available options to control how documents are processed, including background processing, resetting fields, and handling related documents.
  • Timeout Handling: Configure the timeout to accommodate expected processing durations, and implement error handling for timeout exceptions.
  • Permissions: Verify that the necessary permissions are in place for the user or application processing the documents to prevent unauthorized actions
