Recommendations for integrating a Rails application with external APIs?

Question

I am starting to integrate our Rails-based application with other external APIs. We will start with the distribution services (possibly Mad Mimi or Campaign Monitor ).

I just wanted to find out if anyone has the best / preferred methods for approaching simple integration, error checking, and the like.

Are you adding API functions to model callbacks? Is it better to use API functions in the background (ala delayed_job)?
