# Onboarding

Onboarding is a web flow offered by Certta to obtain data and documents of people or companies, providing agility and simplicity in onboarding new users. The product was designed to fit different types of registration. Therefore, the flow/steps and layout can be fully customised according to the customer's preference. In addition, we allow the creation of unlimited onboarding templates so that they can be used for different purposes.

The end user needing to be verified will start the onboarding steps directly on Certta hosted webpage which is presented to them through a client redirect URL or alternatively via email or SMS (with the Certta registration link). When all the defined registration steps have been completed by the user, a transaction is automatically initiated with the data obtained, and call back response with the result data shall be sent to your pre-configured webhook.

Each onboarding link can be created by the API or the Certta [Trust](https://trust.caf.io/) with association to an onboarding template and pre-configured service query model.

For details on authentication, access [Authenticating](/caf-api/connect/authentication/authenticating.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Authentication Requirements:**

* Regular endpoints use `OAuth2` authentication with base URL: `https://api.us.prd.caf.io`
* For enhanced security, some endpoints may also support `mTLS` authentication with base URL: `https://mtls.us.prd.caf.io`
* For information on implementing `mTLS`, access [Using mTLS](/caf-api/connect/authentication/using-mtls.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.caf.io/caf-api/connect/available-resources/onboarding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
