In a workflow, epic_card is not printed on an identity document, so no step produces it on its own. Collect it from a Questionnaire answer, a Document AI extraction field, or a value you send when you create the session, and map it on the Database Validation step. Until it is mapped the workflow editor shows this service disabled and names the missing input; at run time a missing input means the check is skipped before any query, so you are never billed for a database that could not be asked. Not every document this service accepts carries the identifier it queries by. When the identifier is not extracted from the document the check is recorded as not applicable - no database is queried and you are not charged - which for some countries is a large share of real users. To cover them, also collect the identifier from a Questionnaire answer, a Document AI extraction field, or a value you send when you create the session, and map it on the Database Validation step.
