   In your Zapier dashboard, click on “Create Zap”. Name your Zap appropriately, such as “Circle ID Verification”.

Using IdentityCheck for ID Verification in Circle

1. New Member Verification:

   When a new member joins your Circle community, the Zap will automatically trigger IdentityCheck to verify their ID. This verification can help ensure only legitimate users gain access.

2. Monitoring and Alerts:

   You will receive notifications about the verification status. Approve or deny membership based on the verification results.

3. Event Registration Checks:

   Similarly, any event registration through Circle can prompt an ID verification process. Verified attendees can receive confirmation emails while unverified attendees can be flagged for further review.

4. Maintain Records:

   All verification data and status updates are logged, enabling you to maintain accurate records for your community’s security protocols.

Integrating IdentityCheck with Circle using Zapier streamlines the ID verification process, enhancing the security and credibility of your online community. Follow these steps to ensure a seamless setup and use these practices to maintain a trustworthy and engaging environment.
