To render the form, you will need a public Onboarding Token. The token is used by onboarding.js for authorization and scopes the requests to the Confido Firm that it was created for. Onboarding Tokens can be shared with the client and are valid for 24 hours. If a token expires, you will need to create a new one and re-render the form. There are two ways to create an Onboarding Token:
  1. Directly through the createOnboardingToken mutation. Use this when you already have a Firm API Token.
  2. By requesting a token in the result of the createFirm mutation. Use this when you know you want to render the form soon after you create the Firm.

​
createOnboardingToken mutation

Use the createOnboardingToken mutation when the Firm is already created in Confido. 
mutation CreateOnboardingToken {
  createOnboardingToken {
    token
  }
}
This is a Firm-level request, so you must use a Firm API Token on the x-api-key header. This tells us which Firm you want to create the token for.

In createFirm Result

You can also get an Onboarding Token in the result of a createFirm mutation. This is useful if you would like to immediately render the onboarding form after creating a Firm. Remember, Onboarding Tokens are valid for 24 hours. 
mutation CreateFirm() {
  createFirm() {
    onboardingToken {
      token
    }
  }
}
You can find detailed information about all queries and mutations in our GraphQL Playground.
Once you have a token, you will pass it to the browser where you can render the form.
