AUTHENTICATED

Triggered when the authentication to a merchant is successful. You should call Switch Card when you receive this webhook. Optionally, also consider the send_card property as described below.

Request example

{
  "event": "AUTHENTICATED",
  "session_id": "fb5aa994-ed1c-4c3e-b29a-b2a53222e584",
  "task_id": 25605,
  "external_user_id": "3dcbb19a-b2f1-4a7b-8792-d76027b627b3",
  "merchant": {
    "id": 11,
    "name": "Uber"
  },
  "data": {
    "entrypoint": "onboarding",
    "card_id": "123456789",
    "send_card": true // coming soon
  },
  "timestamp": 1710864923198
}

send_card property (coming soon)

If you would like to take advantage of Knot's MassSwitcher feature, you can optionally consider the send_card property when receiving the AUTHENTICATED webhook. By default, this property will be true, in which case your integration should send card information. This is the case for all merchants, except the merchant Google Keychain, which is used for the MassSwitcher feature. For the merchant Google Keychain, send_card = false because the user is simply authenticating to their keychain, not a specific merchant in which they would like to update their card. Therefore, when a user authenticates to the Google Keychain merchant, send_card = false in the AUTHENTICATED webhook and you do not need to send card information.
