POST /v1/workflows

Creates a new workflow for your organization. Workflows define the ordered sequence of verification steps that applicants must complete. Currently supported steps: ID_VERIFICATION, FACE_LIVENESS, AGE_ESTIMATION, PEP_SANCTIONS, ADVERSE_MEDIA.

Request

Headers

Header	Required	Description
`x-api-key`	Yes	Your API key

Body parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	Workflow name (1–255 characters)
`steps`	array	Yes	Ordered list of verification steps (1–10, no duplicates)
`steps[].id`	string	Yes	Step identifier (see Available Steps)
`steps[].config`	object	No	Step-specific configuration overrides (see Step Configuration)

Available Steps

Step ID	Description
`ID_VERIFICATION`	Government ID scanning and validation
`FACE_LIVENESS`	Active anti-spoofing liveness detection
`AGE_ESTIMATION`	Biometric age estimation
`PEP_SANCTIONS`	Politically exposed persons & sanctions screening
`ADVERSE_MEDIA`	Negative press and media mention detection

Step Configuration

Each step accepts optional configuration. If omitted, sensible defaults are applied.

ID_VERIFICATION config

Field	Type	Default	Description
`minimum_age`	integer	`18`	Minimum accepted age
`maximum_age`	integer	`51`	Maximum accepted age
`expiry_date_years`	integer	`2`	Maximum years until ID expiry is rejected
`require_secondary_id`	boolean	`false`	Require a second form of ID
`require_tertiary_id`	boolean	`false`	Require a third form of ID
`face_front_photo_only`	boolean	`false`	Only capture front-facing photo
`require_front_only`	boolean	`false`	Only scan front of ID
`enable_fraud_analysis`	boolean	`false`	Enable synchronous fraud analysis on submitted IDs. Automatically enabled when `escalation_type` is not `none`
`escalation_type`	string	`"none"`	Escalation method when fraud risk is high. One of `none`, `nfc-passport`. Implicitly enables `enable_fraud_analysis`
`escalation_risk_threshold`	integer	`60`	Fraud risk score (0–100) at or above which escalation is triggered. Only applies when `escalation_type` is not `none`

FACE_LIVENESS config

Field	Type	Default	Description
`confidence_threshold`	integer	`70`	Liveness confidence threshold (1–100)

AGE_ESTIMATION config

Field	Type	Default	Description
`minimum_age`	integer	`18`	Minimum age requirement (1–100)

PEP_SANCTIONS / ADVERSE_MEDIA

No configuration options. These steps use default settings.

Fraud Analysis & Escalation

The ID_VERIFICATION step supports optional fraud analysis and conditional escalation. When fraud analysis is enabled, submitted IDs are evaluated synchronously for tampering and fraud signals before the session completes. Fraud analysis only — enable analysis without triggering an extra verification step:

{
  "id": "ID_VERIFICATION",
  "config": {
    "enable_fraud_analysis": true
  }
}

Fraud analysis with NFC passport escalation — when the fraud risk score meets or exceeds the threshold, the applicant is prompted for a Passport NFC Scan:

{
  "id": "ID_VERIFICATION",
  "config": {
    "escalation_type": "nfc-passport",
    "escalation_risk_threshold": 75
  }
}

Setting escalation_type to a value other than none implicitly enables fraud analysis. You do not need to set enable_fraud_analysis separately.

Scenario	`enable_fraud_analysis`	`escalation_type`	Behavior
Default (no config)	`false`	`"none"`	Fraud analysis runs asynchronously, no escalation
Analysis only	`true`	`"none"`	Fraud analysis runs synchronously, results returned, no escalation
Analysis + escalation	`true` (implicit)	`"nfc-passport"`	Fraud analysis runs synchronously, escalation triggered when risk score >= threshold
