Flanks Platform

The Flanks platform is accessible via https://platform.flanks.io. Your contact at Flanks will facilitate your access to this platform. In case you face any problem with your access credentials you can contact: [email protected].

With the Flanks Platform you can:

  • List, create and delete Applications.
  • List and create Links.
  • Change the style of your Links

Applications

In the APPLICATIONS section you will find a list of your Applications. An Application can't be edited but it can be deleted. Once an Application is deleted, all the requests that use that Application to authenticate will fail and it will not be possible to get new access_tokens using this Application.

When a new Application is created, you have to provide a unique name.

After the creation, both the CLIENT_ID and the CLIENT_SECRET will be shown to you. This will be the last time we will show the CLIENT_SECRET to you. If you lose this secret, you will need to create a new Application.

In the LINKS section you will find all your currently active Links. Each link has a token as an identifier and you have an action button to open it.

Each Link has a unique URL where you will send your users. In there, they will be able to select the institution and provide their credentials. If there's a need for a SCA (Strong Customer Authentication), it will be also handled in the Link.

To create a new link, you will need to provide a Redirect URI. That URI is where the link will redirect the user when the login process finishes (either successfully or not). The user will be redirected with a code that you then can exchange for a credentials_token using the Exchange link code for credentials token endpoint.

For non-production Links (dev or testing ones) you can opt to not specify a Redirect URI and use the default one. You will not be notified of new credentials added in that case.

You can delete a Link and its URL will never be accessible again. However, you can only delete Links that don't have any pending codes to exchange. If you want to prevent anyone from accessing the public URL of the Link but still be able to exchange your codes, you can pause it.

Custom CSS

This is an extra feature of the platform. If you need this feature and don't have it active on your platform, please contact [email protected].

In the CUSTOM CSS section you'll find a text box where you can update the custom style for your link. The content of this text box will be included in all your links.

An example of a Custom CSS would be:

#title-select-bank {
    color: #78281f !important
}

#background {
    background: #CD5C5C;
}

#div-select-bank {
    background: #f5f5f5;
}

#input-search-bank {
    background: #fadbd9 !important
}

#bank-box {
    background: #fadbd9;
}

#bank-img {
    background: transparent;
}
