In previous releases we have undertaken testing with a small number of A2A developers before we publish the Technical Specifications. Due to the condensed timetable we are working against we have published the Technical Specifications before completing this testing, which may result in some tweaks being made to the Technical Specifications. If changes are made we will alert users and publish the new Technical Specifications.

Please note that call volumes on the A2A integration site will be monitored and users sending large volumes of calls may be disabled.

If you have any questions please raise them with the helpdesk at helpdesk@rapidclaimsettlement.org.uk

Kind regards
