Configure Connect Experience

The Connect experience parameter allows you to configure a limited set of features to change the look and behavior of the Connect app. This flexibility lets you create different types of experiences, tailored to fit your customer base while increasing your conversion rate.

The experience parameter is used in Generate Connect URL APIs to create a Connect URL link that you can add to your own applications. The Connect app look and functions according to the experience parameter passed in the API call.

Contact a Finicity sales engineer (SE) to help you configure a Connect experience.

Experience Values

The following are the values for the experience parameter:

  • Default—Your default experience.
  • Unique ID—Each additional experience you create after the default experience is identified by a unique ID. Pass the ID for the Connect experience.
  • Not passed— If you don’t pass the experience parameter, then Connect’s out-of-the-box default experience (add accounts but no branding) is used, and the MVS modules will not run.

Single Use URL

The URL link expires after a Connect session successfully completes. When the singleUseUrl and the experience parameters are passed in the same call, the singleUseUrl value overrides the singleUseUrl value configured in the experience parameter.
Example: If you configured a Connect experience with the singleUseUrl parameter set to false (multiple Connect sessions), but you want a URL link that expires after one Connect session, without configuring another experience, then pass singleUseUrl=true and the experience parameter in the same call. The call response is a generated URL link that expires after a single connect session successfully completes.
