If you've chosen Flinks Connect as your front-end solution, the next step to connecting your customer accounts is choosing a back-end solution. The back-end solution allows you to receive the end-user's financial data.

Flinks provides two back-end configuration options:

• Setting up API requests to receive customer data
• Setting up Webhooks to receive customer data

To learn more about the capabilities and requirements for each option, refer to the table below and the following sections.

Setting up API requests to receive customer data

✅

Use this solution if:

You want to make an API call to Flinks when you are ready to receive customer data.

Set up your API to communicate directly with Flinks APIs to receive end-user data. If you choose this back-end integration option, you'll need to set up your servers to make a call to our API each time you want to receive new or refreshed customer data.

For more information about which endpoints to call, see Set up API Calls to Receive Customer Data.

Setting up Webhooks to receive customer data

✅

Use this solution if:

You want to receive customer data automatically, without needing to make any API calls.

Receive end-user data automatically on a set schedule by setting up Webhooks. A Webhook is a way to set up custom callbacks from our application to yours, so that you receive the data automatically on a schedule that you set.

For more information about how to set this up, see Set up Webhooks to Receive Customer Data.
