This playbook helps support teams resolve the most common onboarding questions without guessing.

Triage checklist

1

1) Confirm the customer status

Use the customer status as the source of truth for what the user should do next.See:

2) Identify what is blocking progress

Most blockers fall into a few categories:
  • missing data or documents (often needs_information)
  • review still in progress (pending)
  • verification failed (rejected)
  • updated data waiting for review (update_requested)

3) Use rejection reasons when status is rejected

Rejection reasons help you decide what the user should correct.

4) Confirm product access prerequisites

Even after verification, the user may be blocked if product access is not granted yet.

Quick fixes by scenario

What to do:
  • confirm the user completed the hosted verification flow (if you used a hosted link)
  • check if the user provided readable, uncropped documents
  • if the case exceeds your normal SLA, escalate with customer ID and timestamps
This means verification is blocked until the user provides more information or documents.What to do:
  • direct the user to the upload link returned by the API response (when applicable)
  • ask for the missing fields listed by your own onboarding checklist
See:
Most rejections are resolvable when caused by data quality.Ask the user to:
  • match legal name spelling to the document
  • upload clearer photos (no glare, no cropping, no edits)
  • provide missing required fields (address, national ID, etc.)
Check:
  • customer is active
  • product access request exists and is granted
  • required product-specific data was provided
