Introduction to AWS Lambda

AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows you to run code without provisioning or managing servers. AWS Lambda automatically scales your applications by running your code in response to each trigger, managing the compute fleet that executes your code while maintaining optimal efficiency.

Using AWS Lambda for ID Verification

By integrating IdentityCheck with AWS Lambda through Zapier, you can automate and streamline your ID verification processes. Here are some potential use cases:

• Automated User Onboarding: Use AWS Lambda to automatically trigger ID verification checks when a new user is created in your database.
• KYC Compliance: Automate the Know Your Customer (KYC) process by running ID checks on customer data stored in AWS.
• Fraud Detection: Enhance your fraud detection systems by integrating real-time ID verification with AWS Lambda functions.

Setting Up IdentityCheck Integration with AWS Lambda via Zapier

Follow these steps to set up the integration between IdentityCheck and AWS Lambda:

1. Create an Account: Ensure you have active accounts on IdentityCheck, AWS, and Zapier.
2. Configure AWS Lambda: Set up your AWS Lambda function to handle ID verification tasks. Make sure your function is accessible and has the necessary permissions.
3. Log into Zapier: Go to Zapier and log in to your account.
4. Create a New Zap: Click on "Make a Zap" in Zapier. Select IdentityCheck as your trigger app and define the trigger event (e.g., ID verification request).
5. Configure Trigger: Authenticate your IdentityCheck account in Zapier and set up the required fields for the trigger.
6. Set Up Action: Choose AWS Lambda as your action app and configure it. You'll need to connect your AWS account and select the Lambda function you previously set up.
7. Test the Integration: Test the Zap to ensure the integration works correctly. Zapier will run your Lambda function in response to the IdentityCheck trigger.
8. Enable the Zap: Once testing is successful, turn on your Zap and monitor its performance.

Using IdentityCheck with AWS Lambda for ID Verification

Once the integration is set up, you can easily use IdentityCheck with AWS Lambda for various ID verification tasks. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Trigger the Verification: Whenever a new user signs up or any event triggers an ID verification within IdentityCheck, Zapier will activate the corresponding AWS Lambda function.
2. Execute Lambda Function: Your AWS Lambda function will receive the data from IdentityCheck and perform the necessary verification steps.
3. Process the Result: Depending on the function’s purpose (e.g., KYC compliance, fraud detection), process the ID verification results accordingly.
4. Record Outcomes: Store the results of the ID checks and take any necessary actions (e.g., user approval, flagging suspicious activity).

By leveraging AWS Lambda’s scalability and IdentityCheck’s robust verification capabilities, you can significantly enhance your ID verification processes and ensure seamless user experiences.
