Before connecting Monitor to an IDV template, you need:
- Monitor access enabled for your environment (Sandbox or Production). If Monitor is not showing in your product list, contact your Plaid Account Manager or Plaid Support to request access.
- At least one Monitor program created in the Monitor dashboard. A program defines your screening settings (watchlists, sensitivity, ongoing monitoring, etc.).
- An existing IDV Workflow Template, or permission to create one.
Connect the program to the template
Once the prerequisites are in place:
- In the Plaid Dashboard, navigate to Identity Verification > Templates.
- Open the template you want to configure, or create a new one.
- In the template editor, locate the AML Screening section.
- Select your Monitor program from the dropdown.
- Save the template.
Once linked, every new IDV session created with that template will automatically trigger a Monitor screening using the selected program's settings.
