Policy callback API is provided by the partner and is the way Qoala shares the latest status of the transaction. Through this callback API, Qoala will share policy information based on each transaction, such as policy_number, policy_status, and a link to the e-certificate. Qoala's system supports several methods of authorization, including HMAC_SHA256, MD5, Bearer, Basic Auth, etc. Qoala can support a new method of authorization if needed.

Callback URL

Each partner can configure a callback URL for policy creation webhook.

POST {partner-url-path}
partner-url-path = URL from partner to receive webhook notification

The configuration can be done through at the time of onboarding.
