Onfido Salesforce Integration

Start here

This guide is to help you install and configure the Onfido Salesforce app. This includes applying permission sets and completing the Setup Assisstant. This guide is based on configuring your org in a Lightning Experience environment.

If you already have an older version of Onfido installed, see the migration guide for details on how to upgrade to the latest version.


Throughout the installation, you will be instructed to navigate through Setup. To do so, select the gear to the upper right and then Setup. Once in Setup, you can use the Quick Find box to find and navigate to the appropriate section:

Navigating to setup

Installing the Onfido Package

Open a new window and navigate to the Onfido package on the Salesforce AppExchange:

https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000DmgR7UAJ&tab=e

If you are not already logged into the org you wish to install the package into, Salesforce will prompt you to log in. If you already have Onfido installed, see the migration guide for details on how to upgrade to the latest version.

Install for Admins Only is recommended. This option allows for controlling access and permissions after the package has been installed. For further information, you can refer to the Salesforce documentation on Package Installations.

Install for Admins Only

For Approve Third-Party Access, check the boxes as shown in the following image:

Approve Third-Party Access

Select Continue to start the package installation when the modal appears.


Permission Sets

As part of the package, there are 3 Permission Sets: Onfido API User, Onfido Feature Set Access, and Onfido Setup. This section shows how to configure the package's Permission Sets and assign them to Salesforce users.

Onfido API User Permission Set

The Onfido API User Clone Permission Set will be assigned to the Site Guest User during the Setup in the Salesforce Site URL section. This will be done mid-flow of running the Onfido Setup app. The following objects will need Read rights regardless of which object you are running verifications from: Account, Case, Contact, Opportunity, User and Lead.

  1. Navigate to the Quick Find, then search for “Permission Sets”

Navigating to Permission Sets

  1. Select Clone next to the Onfido API User Permission Set

Clone API User Permission Set

  1. Enter in a new value for Label and select the API Name field which will automatically populate, then select Save

Cloned API User Permission Set

  1. Select the Onfido API User Clone Permission Set that was just created

Select cloned permission set

  1. Select Object Settings

Select Object Settings

You will need to select the following: Accounts, Cases, Contacts, Leads, Users and Opportunities to give Read Access to in Object Permissions.

If you have Person Accounts enabled, add permissions to the Person Account Record Type for the Account object as well.

Select for each of Accounts, Cases, Contacts and Opportunities

  1. Select Edit

Select

  1. Check Object Permissions - Read, and select Save

Check read, then Save

Note: If you are upgrading the package and have already cloned the API User permission set, you may need to give Read access to the “Onfido Language Override” field which is on the Verifications object. On the cloned API User permission set, give Read access to the Applicant object.

  1. Navigate to System Permissions

System Permissions

  1. Select Edit

Edit System Permissions

  1. Check API Enabled, then select Save

Note: If you are in a Developer Edition org, you will not be able to check this option because you will get an error message later when assigning this permission set to the Guest User.

Onfido Feature Set Access Permission Set

The Onfido Feature Set Access Permission Set is used to provide your users access to Onfido identity verifications.

  1. Repeat the steps shown above to clone the Onfido Feature Set Access Permission Set
  2. Select the Onfido Feature Set Access Permission Set that was just cloned

Select the cloned permission set

  1. Navigate to Object Settings

You will need to select all of the following objects: Accounts, Cases, Contacts, Opportunities, User and Leads.

Add Read Object Permissions.

For the object you are running verifications from, you will need to also do the following:

  • Person Account - make sure Record Type is checked if running verifications from Person Accounts
  • Object Permissions - Read/Create/Edit/Delete
  • Field Permissions - Read/Edit on your fields used in the field mappings, which will also become required fields for your users to initiate verifications

  1. Select Manage Assignments

Select Manage Assignments

  1. Select Add Assignments

Select Add Assignments

  1. Select the Users who need access to the Onfido identity verification features, then select Assign

Assign users

Onfido Setup Access Permission Set

Previous installation instructions included setting up a permission set for the user(s) in charge of completing the Onfido setup wizard. This permission set is still a part of the package. Since it is typically a Salesforce user with System Admin access that is in charge of implementation, this permission set was deemed unnecessary since those users will already have access to all assets from the package as part of the package installation process.

Onfido Setup Assistant

The Onfido Setup Assistant will need to be completed to connect your Salesforce org to your Onfido account in order to retrieve your list of bots and devices and to initiate your bots from Salesforce.

Navigate to App Launcher then Onfido Setup.

Lightning Flow Support

This sections explains how to create a flow that takes advantage of our invocable method and Lightning Web Component to display the SDK.

Lightning flow exmaple

This is an example flow that allows a user to sign up with their contact information which then creates a contact record for them within the Salesforce org, creates an applicant record with a lookup to that newly created contact record, then also makes a callout to onfido to create an applicant record, then finally creates a verification record within SF.

After the verification record is created we pass the verification ID to our LWC component to render the SDK within the flow. Allowing the user to verify their identity right after signing up.

  1. Create a sign up screen

    • Add a screen to collect user information by click the plus button and adding a screen

    Sign up

    • Add on text fields for all the information you wish to collect from the user

    Sign up

  2. Create a record in Salesforce

    • Add a create record element of the object type of your choice (in this example a contact is created).

    Record Record

    • Click into the create record element and attach the fields you collected in the previous screen to the corresponding fields on the contact record. Once this step is complete the record will be created and the ID of the record will be returned.
  3. Add the invocable method

    • Add an apex action element and search for the flow titled Initiate Verification Flow

    Invocable Invocable

    • Set all the variables that you want to provide here. In our example we are creating a new applicant based on our contact record we just created so we pass in the following selectedReportNames, SendEmail (false - we don’t want to send an email), Language, and recordId (the ID of the contact we just created).

    Invocable

    • In the advanced section of this same screen we need to select this option or else the invocable will fail
    • Our flow will now return the ID of the newly created Verification ID (to be used next) while also creating the Applicant in onfido and in Salesforce
  4. Load new lightning web component

    • Next we add a new screen that will host our new Lightning Web Component

    Lwc Lwc

    • Here we drag on our custom component from the left side and turn off Show Header and Show Footer on the right side

    Lwc

    • When you drag the component on we get these options on the right side. Here we name the component on the flow (sdk in our case) and pass the Verification ID we received from the Invocable on the previous step. In our case the variable is called {!call_invocable} as that’s what we named our apex action
    • This is the last step. Now we can Save and activate our component to be used wherever we wish to call this flow.

Invocable

The invocable (onfido_verificationsInvocable.cls) allows Onfido users within Salesforce to create Applicants and initiate verifications just as our standard verification component can, but automated. This can be done through flows or process builders.

Our invocable takes the following variables:

Variable Description
sendEmail Required. Determines if we send an email alert to the applicant after the verification record is created.
selectedReportNames Required. The report types you wish to run within the SDK. Must be in the format of string separated by commas (ex. document facial_similarity_photo).
recordId Optional but required if applicantId is not provided. The ID of the Case, Opportunity, Lead, User that the new applicant will be based off of. This is where we will use your mappings for the corresponding object to pull the first name, last name, and email to create the applicant in onfido.
applicantId Optional. If the applicant already exists you can pass the record ID of the applicant within Salesforce into the invocable and we will only create a new verification for the applicant. If applicantId is provided you do not need to provide a recordId.
language Optional. This field can either be the record ID of a Language Override Record or a default language string that exists within the SDK (ex. es_ES, en_US, fr_FR etc). This will be added to the newly created verification and this is the language the SDK will initialize in. If nothing is provided we default to en_US.

variables

Email Template ID

Email template ID gives Onfido users the ability to send email templates in different languages based on the language they selected for the verification.

Email alerts are sent on creation of an Email Proxy record. We added a new field called language_c. Based on the language you select for the initiation of a verification we will set the language_c field on Email Proxy record to the label_c of the Onfido Override Language record (if selected) or the default language string (es_ES) of that’s on the Verification Record. For example: If you create a verification record with the language of spanish (es_ES) at the end of the Verification creation flow we create an Email Proxy record that has a lookup to the verification and a language__c field of es_ES. After the record is created our email alert will be triggered that will send the applicant an email that has an email template in spanish.

Example for creating an email template in spanish

  1. Clone the email alert called Send Webform Email.

Send webform email

  1. Change the name to match the language you’re supporting.
  2. Select an email template created in spanish (You can clone an existing email template and translate everything to spanish).
  3. Next clone the packaged workflow rule called Send Webform Email and edit the rule criteria to match the new language you want to support. In this example, spanish (es_ES) as its default language.

Edit rules webform

  1. To send an email on verifications with Onfido Language Override selected, enter the value as the label of your override record. In this example it would simply be Julian.

Julian

  1. Click on your newly created rule. In this example the "Send Spanish Webform Email".

All workflows rules

  1. Click Edit under workflow actions.

Edit workflow

  1. Then click Add workflow action and select Select Existing Action.
  2. Select your new email alert that was created for the spanish template. Click Save.

Spanish template

  1. Click Activate and now this email will be sent whenever a verification is created with the spanish default language.

Migration guide

v2.2x -> v2.54

If you already have an existing version of Onfido installed, v2.54 is not compatible as a direct upgrade due to significant changes in the way the app functions.

In order to use the latest version of the Onfido Salesforce app, the previous package needs to be uninstalled before installing the new package.

Note: This will delete all of your setup and configuration settings related to Onfido. You will need to reconfigure after you install the latest version.

Please complete the following steps:

Remove or Unassign Onfido Assets from the Org

Any packaged assets that are currently in use in the Salesforce org must be removed or unassigned before Salesforce will allow you to uninstall the Onfido package.

  1. Unassign Packaged Permission Set(s)

    • Any original, packaged permission sets that were not cloned and altered must be unassigned from users. This would usually affect the Onfido Feature Access permission set but may also include the other packaged permission sets depending on how you have configured access for your users. Permission sets that have been cloned and assigned are not affected by the package uninstall and may need to be deleted manually if a completely blank slate is desired - for example, the cloned and edited Onfido API User Perm Set that is assigned to your Site’s Guest User. You will need to go to the Site Guest User’s detail page in order to remove its permission set.
  2. Remove Verification Form Visualforce Page from Site

    • Remove the onfidosf.onfido_verificationForm visualforce page from your site. View the section on adding the Visualforce page for instructions on where to locate it and make the change.
  3. Remove Onfido Verification Lightning Components from Lightning Record Pages

    • The Onfido Identity Verification lightning component will need to be removed from the Lightning Pages of the objects where it was added. View the configuration instructions to see how the component can be removed - instead of dragging it onto the page, simply click the X in the corner of the component on the page.
  4. Remove Onfido Verification Visualforce Page from Page Layouts

    • If there are Onfido users on Salesforce Classic and the Onfido Verification visualforce page has been added to one or more Object’s page layouts, they will also have to be removed in order to proceed with uninstalling the package.

Once all the elements of the package have been removed from active use in the org, the package can be uninstalled in preparation for the new Onfido package.

Uninstalling the Older Onfido Salesforce App

  1. Navigate to Salesforce Setup > Apps > Packaging > Installed Packages.
  2. Look for the “Onfido” package and click on the Uninstall link next to the package.

Uninstall

  1. Scroll down to the bottom of the next page and check the box for “Yes, I want to uninstall this package and permanently delete all associated components”.
