Ensure the business object exists in Middesk; if not, create it via POST /v1/businesses first
Enable monitoring by POST https://api.middesk.com/v1/businesses/{id}/monitoring with an empty body or plan-specific config
Register a webhook for event type 'business.status_changed' to receive push notifications when state SOS records change
On webhook receipt, compare event.data.previous_status with event.data.current_status and trigger downstream alerts for 'inactive', 'revoked', or 'dissolved' transitions
Periodically verify monitoring is active via GET /v1/businesses/{id} and check the monitoring.active field
Log each status-change event with timestamp and state jurisdiction for audit trail
Known gotchas
Middesk monitors only U.S. SOS registrations; foreign entity status changes require a separate data source
Monitoring availability depends on the subscribed plan tier; confirm feature access before building the integration
State SOS data freshness varies; some states update weekly or monthly so 'real-time' monitoring reflects SOS publication lag, not filing-date precision
