Available configurations

Note: all parameters are optional, except for the connectToken.

PropertyDescriptionType
connectTokenYour Pluggy Connect token, which will be used to access the API.string
includeSandboxWhether to display Sandbox connectors in the Connector selection step (not intended for production use)boolean
allowConnectInBackgroundIf true, Connect can be minimized by the user to continue the connection with the component hidden.boolean
allowFullscreenIf set to false, Connect won't be displayed as fullscreen on small/mobile screens, it will be displayed as a modal instead. Default to trueboolean
updateItemItem id to update. If specified, the modal will display directly the credentials form of the item to be updated.string
selectedConnectorIdIf specified, and the Connector is available, after accepting terms, the widget will navigate to this Connector login form directly, skipping connectors selection step.number
connectorTypesList of Connector Types. If defined, only Connectors of the specified connector types will be listed.ConnectorType[]
productsIf defined, only the products specified in this array will be executed in the item creation (in order to be executed, you should have them enabled in your team subscription).ProductType[]
connectorIdsList of Connector IDs. If defined, only Connectors of the specified connector IDs will be listed.number[]
countriesList of country codes (ISO-3166-1 alpha 2 format). If defined, only Connectors of the specified countries will be listed.CountryCode[]
languageLanguage ISO string used to display the widget. If not specified, or selected language is not supported, the default language 'pt' will be used.string
themeTheme to use for displaying the UI. Can be 'light' or 'dark'. Defaults to 'light'.'light' | 'dark'
onSuccessFunction to execute when an Item has been created/updated successfully.(data: { item: Item }) => void | Promise<void>
onErrorFunction to execute on a general error loading the widget, or when an Item creation/update status has not been successful.(error: { message: string; data?: { item: Item } }) => void | Promise<void>
onOpenFunction to execute when the widget modal has been opened.() => void | Promise<void>
onCloseFunction to execute when the widget modal has been closed.() => void | Promise<void>
onHideFunction to execute when the widget modal has been hidden, it will only call if allowConnectInBackground prop is set as true.() => void | Promise<void>
onEventFunction to execute to handle custom user interaction events. See below for more info.Function to execute to handle custom user interaction events. See below for more info. Since v2.0.0:
(payload: ConnectEventPayload) => void | Promise<void>
Until 1.x:
(event: string, metadata: { timestamp: number }) => void

onEvent

Use this callback to handle specific user interaction events.

The property event inside the payload of the onEvent is the current event triggered.
The available events that can be handled through this method are:

Event nameDescription
'SUBMITTED_CONSENT'User has confirmed terms & privacy consent on the first Welcome screen.
'SELECTED_INSTITUTION'User has selected an institution to connect to.
'SUBMITTED_LOGIN'User has submitted credentials to create the connection Item.
'SUBMITTED_MFA'User has submitted an extra parameter that has been requested by the institution to connect.
'LOGIN_SUCCESS'User has submitted credentials to create the connection Item successfully.
'LOGIN_MFA_SUCCESS'User has submitted an extra parameter that has been requested by the institution to connect successfully.
'LOGIN_STEP_COMPLETED'Successful completion of the login. User effectively logged in to the institution.
'ITEM_RESPONSE'Called every time the Item object is retrieved from Pluggy API, either when just created, updated, or each time it's retrieved to poll it's connection/execution status.

payload object has a property timestamp and some events extra data:

  • 'SELECTED_INSTITUTION' has the connector property which is the connector selected by the user.
  • 'LOGIN_SUCCESS' | 'LOGIN_MFA_SUCCESS' | 'LOGIN_STEP_COMPLETED' | 'ITEM_RESPONSE' events have the item property which is the item data related to the current connection.

Webhooks and callbacks

After a user makes a connection with Pluggy Connect widget, there are 2 ways to get the recently created item ID

Pluggy Connect Widget Callbacks

In the frontend of your application (website, application, etc), when you’re using Pluggy Connect widget, you get access to callbacks. (read callbacks) This way, you can pass the widget a function you need to execute when an event happens (for example an account connected successfully or with an error). What’s important here for you to know is that callbacks are used to improve the user experience, like redirecting users to a success page or showing an error message.

<PluggyConnect
	...
	onSuccess={({ item }) => console.log(item.id)}
	onError={({message, data: {item}}) => showErrorPage(message)}
/>t

This approach is great for handling front-end logic, but it has the problem that it’s inconsistent and you cannot relay your Business Logic or DB integrity to it. Because for example, a user can close the application before the connection finishes successfully, and you will never realize that the connection finished.
To be consistent, we introduce Webhooks!

📘

onSuccess won't always be called!

Caixa Economica Federal (PF & PJ), has authorization flows that will require the user to authorize Pluggy as a trustable device, and the process has a delay of 30'.
In this scenario, you will receive an onError with the status USER_AUTHORIZATION_PENDING, and the SUCCESS event will be communicated via webhooks.

Webhooks

Webhook (also known as web callback) is a simple method that makes it easy for an app or system to provide real-time information whenever an event happens, that is, it is a way to passively receive data between two systems through an HTTP POST.

Webhooks will send your API / backend a notification when events related to connections happen. For example, you can get notified when an item is created or updated. (read more here)

You’ll need to create an endpoint to listen to Pluggy’s “ebhook events and then create a webhook pointing to that endpoint you created. More details about webhooks can be read in the documentation, but what’s important to understand here is that webhooks are the way to get the item ID of a connection for you to work on. Even though you can also retrieve the item ID with callbacks in the frontend, handling business logic with them is a bad practice, for example, a user closing the website they were making the connection on will result in you losing the item ID of that connection, meaning you’ll never be able to retrieve the item data.
