Introducing External API Nodes & Input Schema Nodes

We’re excited to announce two powerful additions to our Onboarding Engine: External API nodes and Input Schema nodes. These give you greater flexibility and control when building automation workflows for identity verification, onboarding, and beyond. Onboarding is now truly programmable with just a few clicks!

External API Nodes

You can now connect to any third-party service directly from your playbook. With the new External API node, you can:

  • Call any external API (GET, POST, etc.) to verify user data or trigger actions.
  • Pass in onboarding variables as parameters for dynamic, context-aware requests.
  • Customize headers, query parameters, and expected response types (JSON supported).
  • Extract response data into onboarding variables to drive conditional step-ups

This opens up endless possibilities for integrations, from fraud detection APIs, dynamic payment checkout, and even custom data enrichment services.

Input Schema Nodes

Playbooks now support Inputs, letting you define the exact schema required to run a playbook. By specifying structured inputs like strings, numbers, or nested objects you can now dynamically control onboarding with real-time data. For example, pass in a transaction amount or risk score and use that to conditionally step-up the user with a document verification. The customizations are limitless!
