# Verification links

> Create secure verification links and QR codes from the Didit console or API. Launch hosted identity verification in minutes with no frontend development.

A Verification Link is a unique, secure URL that directs your end user to a verification flow hosted entirely by Didit. You design the verification steps and logic in your Business Console, and Didit handles the user interface, data capture, and security. This allows you to launch a robust verification process in minutes, often with no code required.

This method is part of the **Orchestrated Workflows** integration path, giving you the power of the workflow engine with maximum simplicity.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Configure your workflow">
    In the [Didit Business Console](https://business.didit.me), use the no-code editor to design a workflow with the exact sequence of checks you need (e.g., ID Document Scan → Liveness Check → AML Screening). Each workflow has a unique `workflow_id`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate a verification link">
    Create a unique session for a user. This can be done **no-code** directly from the Business Console, or **low-code** via a single API call to the [Create Session](/sessions-api/create-session) endpoint.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share the link">
    Send the generated URL to your user through any channel — email, SMS, in-app message — or embed it in an iframe.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get real-time results">
    Didit sends automated updates to your configured [webhook URL](/integration/webhooks) as the user progresses and when the final verification result is ready.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Generating verification links

### Method 1: No-code generation (via Business Console)

The perfect method for getting started instantly, for manual processes, or for teams without developer resources.

1. Navigate to the **Verifications** section in your [Didit Business Console](https://business.didit.me).
2. Click **+ Create Verification**.
3. Select the `workflow_id` you want to use for this session.
4. Optionally enter `vendor_data` (like a user ID from your system) to map the verification back to your user.
5. A **unique URL and QR code** are generated instantly.
6. Copy the link, have the user scan the QR code, or send the link directly to the user's email.

### Method 2: Low-code generation (via API)

This method offers full automation and is the standard way to integrate verification links into your application logic.

Send a single `POST` request to the `/v3/session/` endpoint with your API key and `workflow_id`:

```bash theme={null}
curl --request POST \
     --url https://verification.didit.me/v3/session/ \
     --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '{
       "workflow_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
       "vendor_data": "your_internal_user_id_123",
       "callback": "https://yourapp.com/didit/webhook/handler"
     }'
```

The API returns a JSON object containing the `session_id` and the unique verification `url`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "session_id": "11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555",
  "session_number": 1234,
  "vendor_data": "your_internal_user_id_123",
  "status": "Not Started",
  "workflow_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "callback": "https://yourapp.com/didit/webhook/handler",
  "url": "https://verify.didit.me/session/abcdef123456"
}
```

  Full API details are available in the [Create Session API Reference](/sessions-api/create-session).
