Example Connect Invite email + lock screen.

​
Overview

Connect Invites function like Connect Links, but they add an additional layer of verification, allowing them to be used in stand alone scenarios like personalized emails.

Connect Invites differ from Connect Links in a 2 important ways:

  • Connect Invites allow you to prompt the user for verification information only they should know. This verification info is set when you create the account connection. Some examples include:
    • Last 4 of SSN
    • Account Number or User ID with your organization
    • The current bank account number they have on file with your organization
  • Connect Invites expire 72 hours after creation (vs 10 minutes for Connect Links) or after 3 failed verification attempts.

Different in Sandbox

Remember that sandbox follows special rules about sending emails.
