Got a question about pacticipant names. I know that there is a built in check to make sure that you dont have similar/duplicate pacticipant names. However, we are running into a situation where we've deleted the "integration" between two services from the broker ui however the broker is still giving us the error of a pacticipant name being too similar. I wanted to know if this is expected behavior and if we have to go in an manually delete the pacticipant in addition to deleting the pact integration itself? I'm curious what the reasoning behind checking against pacticipant names that dont have any current integrations are.

Yes you will need to delete the pacticipant if you've only deleted the pacts. It's perfectly valid to pre create applications before the contracts are there, and the warning is still useful. It could still be confusing to people

Ah. What is the benefit of pre-creating applications? So you can set up a webhook?

that’s one example, yes

ok, I can see that for pactflow.
