Understand Webhooks

Webhooks are event notifications. They let your application know when a specific event happens on the Incode Platform or when a process initiated by a user is completed, also known as a callback. Your application can then take action based on the notification.

Webhooks are asynchronous; communication flows only from the Incode Platform to your application. You must configure them before you can use them.

The following webhooks are currently available:

  • Onboarding status webhook: Triggered every time an Onboarding Session status changes. Learn more.
  • Videoselfie uploaded webhook: Triggered when the video selfie recording file becomes available. Learn more.
  • Third party async retries webhook:
  • Watchlist updated webhook: Triggered when a global watchlist result is updated. Learn more.
  • Work history callback: Triggered after a work history search for a user is processed. This webhook is for Mexico only. Learn more.
  • Proof of payment callback: Triggered after payment proof validation for a user is processed. This webhook is for Mexico only. Learn more.
  • Face Authentication: Triggered when face authentication succeeds or fails. Learn more.
  • Session Started: Triggered when any session from a Flow or Workflow starts. Learn more.
  • Session Failed: Triggered when any session from a Flow or Workflow fails. Learn more.
  • Session Succeeded: Triggered when any session from a Flow or Workflow succeeds. Learn more.
  • Session Pending Review: Triggered when any session from a Flow or Workflow requires manual review. Learn more.

The following webhooks are deprecated:

  • INE scraping webhook: Provided INE scraping results.
