When does an integration actually count as an integration?

I keep seeing SaaS products advertise 30, 50, sometimes 100+ integrations.

But I am starting to think the number itself means very little.

There is a big difference between:

• pulling some data from another product

• triggering one basic action

• supporting an actual end-to-end workflow

• handling failures and edge cases reliably

For me, the third and fourth are where an integration starts becoming genuinely useful.

It has made me think that 5 deep integrations might create more value than 50 shallow ones.

How do other makers think about this?

At what point would you personally feel comfortable listing something as an integration?
