- Obtain an API key for the company you will send records to. The key determines the company; a request cannot select another company by changing a body field.
- Choose the collections task type for your setup.
- Create loans individually with Create Loan or in bulk with Batch Create Loans, and keep them current with Update Loan.
- Report payment events as they happen: Submit ACH Return for returned payments and Confirm ACH Settlement for settled ones (each also supports batch).
- When a loan reaches a final state, stop outreach with Cancel Loan Servicing for a single loan or Cancel Customer Servicing for every loan a customer owns.
