Set up once · Before your first check

Connect Zendesk Sell once from StackGo

A one-off set-up before your first check: install Zendesk Sell, create three contact custom fields in Sell, and map them in StackGo.

StackGo Integrations page with the Zendesk Sell card connected, the Zendesk sign-in pop-up that opens on install, and Zendesk Sell Settings with the three custom fields mapped.
  1. Install on the Zendesk Sell card starts the connection.
  2. Zendesk Sell opens to sign in and allow access. Only when you install. StackGo never sees your password.
  3. Map your three custom fields. Create KYC Command, KYC Status and Verification Link on contacts in Zendesk Sell first, then choose them here.
How it runs

From a contact in Zendesk Sell to a verified client

Once Zendesk Sell is connected, your team ticks one box. StackGo emails the contact on its next hourly sync, they verify on their phone, and the result comes back to the same contact.

How it runs, in five steps: tick KYC Command on the contact in Zendesk Sell; StackGo picks it up on its hourly sync and sends the check link; the client verifies on their phone; KYC Status shows the result; the full report is in StackGo.
  1. Tick KYC Command. On the contact in Zendesk Sell, then save.
  2. Picked up hourly. StackGo emails the check link and sets KYC Status to Started.
  3. The client verifies. A short form if you ask for one, then ID photo and selfie on their phone.
  4. Result on the contact. KYC Status shows the result.
  5. Full report in StackGo. Document, images and a timeline of the check, with a PDF for your records.
Step 1 · Start in Zendesk Sell

Tick KYC Command on the contact

Tick KYC Command on the contact and save.

A Zendesk Sell contact with KYC Command ticked, the contact’s email, and the KYC Status and Verification Link custom fields.
  1. Tick KYC Command and save. StackGo checks Zendesk Sell every hour.
  2. The contact’s email is where the check link goes.
  3. KYC Status changes to Started when the check link goes out, and KYC Command is unticked.
Step 2 · The client verifies

On the client’s phone, a few minutes, nothing to type

Everything happens on the client’s own phone, from the email StackGo sends.

Four phone screens: the IdentityCheck email, an optional short form, photographing the ID, and taking a selfie.
  1. Open the link. An email from IdentityCheck, sent on behalf of your business.
  2. A few questions (optional). Only if you have set up a form: details, consent or a few questions.
  3. Photograph the ID. Passport, driver licence or national ID card.
  4. Take a selfie. A quick photo to match their face to the ID.
Step 3 · The result lands in Zendesk Sell

The result lands on the Zendesk Sell contact

KYC Status shows the result on the contact your team already works in.

The Zendesk Sell contact after the check: KYC Command unticked and KYC Status Positive.
  1. KYC Command stays unticked, ready for the next check.
  2. KYC Status shows the result: Positive, Negative, Resubmission required, Expired or Review.
Step 4 · The full report

The result and the full report in StackGo

The report records the document, date of birth, ID and selfie images, and a timeline of the check. Download it as a PDF for your records.

The verification report in StackGo: result Positive, document type, country, number, date of birth, expiry, the ID and selfie images, and a Download PDF button.
