Overview

Protect your brand from fraudulent actors by integrating with Deduce's fraud detection solution. Combining Deduce with Strivacity's powerful Lifecycle Event Hooks, rely on extensive online behavior data to make informed security decisions.

Configuration steps

Create a 'Before registration' hook from the Deduce plugin

Our plugin library contains an off-the-shelf Deduce event hook template that jumpstarts your integration process and allows you to customize it to your needs.

1. In the Admin Console, go to Lifecycle Event Hooks.
2. Click 'Add plugin'. You will be redirected to the plugin library.
3. Click on the Deduce logo. You can find it in the Fraud Detection section.
4. There will be a pre-select for the event hook, so you only need to click 'Add'.
5. Wait for the Deduce hook template to be added.

🚧

If the Admin Console doesn't want to add the hook, it's most likely that the name of the hook is already taken. Click 'Edit' and you can modify the name of the event hook. Then continue with 'Try again'.

6. If the hook has been successfully added, you can return to the list view with 'Back to plugin library', then 'Back to event hooks'.

Customizing the event hook plugin

1. Select the Deduce event hook you've just added.
2. At 'DEDUCE_SITE' at the top of the script, add the site identifier you have obtained from Deduce.
3. At 'DEDUCE_API_KEY' at the top of the script, add the API key you have obtained from Deduce.
4. Save your changes.

📘

Your hook's status will stay Non-Deployed until you add it to an application.

Create a Strivacity application

1. Go to Applications and click 'Create Application'.
2. Add a name, description, and define the mandatory properties of the application.
3. Scroll down to Lifecycle Event Hooks and assign your 'Before registration' hook to your Strivacity test application to integrate with Deduce.
4. Save your changes.

✅

Copy the test application's self-service URL.

Test your integration

1. Go to an incognito browser.

📘

Make sure only one incognito window is open as multiple windows share session information.

2. Go to the self-service portal of the Strivacity application.
3. Try to register as you normally would.

📘

If Deduce does not return a "TRUSTED" risk score your registration process will be blocked. For additional support in determining trust errors, please contact Deduce support.
