Breaking changes

This page lists past and planned changes to the EventsAir GraphQL API that may impact integrated applications. While we endeavour to maintain backward compatibility as the API evolves, scenarios may arise that require a breaking change.

This page is intended to provide advanced notice of breaking changes so that developers can plan ahead to test their integrated applications and make any necessary changes.
