How can I check the current status of a verification process?
Use the get_workflow_run tool with the specific Workflow Run ID. It will return the current state, such as 'awaiting_input', 'processing', 'approved', or 'declined'.
Can I create a verification check without using Workflow Studio?
Yes. Use the create_check tool for legacy integrations. You can specify a comma-separated list of report names, such as 'document, facial_similarity_photo', for a specific applicant ID.
How do I get notified when a report is completed?
You can use the register_webhook tool to set up a listener URL for specific events like 'report.completed', 'check.completed', or 'workflow_run.completed'.
