Note

Access to the applicant data from some providers needs to be confirmed by the applicant. In that case, status will be set to confirmationRequired and confirmationStatus to created. The confirmation type will be provided in the confirmationType field. For details on how to confirm submission, see this article.

otpConfirmation attributes

NameTypeDescription
codeLengthNumberThe OTP code length.

oAuthConfirmation attributes

NameTypeDescription
urlStringAn external auth URL where applicant should be directed to pass authentication.
redirectUrlStringThe final URL address where the auth page will be redirected after the applicant finishes the journey.

📘

Mind the following:

  • Applicants should be redirected to the url where they can authenticate the external source. At the end of the auth journey, applicants will be redirected to the completeUrl consisting of redirectUrl enriched with queryParams with the auth result.
  • If url was opened in the child window, postMessage: {type: "ekycOauth", completeUrl: "<completeUrl>"} will be sent.
  • Several redirects can be performed during the auth flow. To detect the completion of the journey, redirect to the redirectUrl or subscribe to postMessages.
  • To complete the Non-Doc oAuth flow, pass the final full url as completeUrl to confirm the applicant data.
