Integration Providers

Identix IDP Broker features a wide range of pre-built integration providers for email, SMS, messaging, and security. Each provider is designed to be easily configurable via the Admin Dashboard.

Email Providers

Email is used for sending OTPs, magic links, welcome emails, and password reset notifications.

  • SMTP (Generic): Connect to any standard SMTP server (e.g., Google Workspace, Office 365, Postmark). Supports custom ports, SSL/TLS, and authentication.
  • SendGrid: Integrated support for SendGrid's API, including dynamic templates and tracking.
  • AWS SES: Native integration with Amazon Simple Email Service for high-volume, reliable delivery.

SMS & OTP Providers

SMS providers are used for delivering one-time passwords and important security alerts.

  • Twilio SMS: The industry standard for SMS delivery. Configurable with Account SID, Auth Token, and Sender ID.
  • Twilio Verify: A specialized, highly secure service for managed OTP delivery and verification.
  • AWS SNS: Use Amazon Simple Notification Service for cost-effective SMS delivery globally.
  • Azure ACS: Native integration with Azure Communication Services.

Messaging Providers

Expand your reach with modern messaging platforms.

  • WhatsApp Business: Send secure authentication codes and notifications directly to your users' WhatsApp accounts. (Note: Requires a WhatsApp Business account and API access).

Security & Bot Protection

Integrate third-party security services to protect your authentication flows.

  • Google reCAPTCHA v3: Seamless, invisible bot detection. Integrated directly into the User Journeys to provide a risk score without interrupting the user experience.
  • Arkose Labs: Advanced bot detection and challenge platform for high-risk environments.

Orchestration & Customization

  • Outgoing Webhooks: Trigger custom logic in your own backend or third-party services (e.g., Zapier, Make) when specific events occur in the Identix platform.
  • External Interceptors: Call custom APIs during the authentication flow to perform real-time validation or data enrichment before proceeding.

Configuration Best Practices

  1. Secret Management: All provider secrets (API keys, tokens, passwords) are encrypted before storage and are never returned in plain text.
  2. Default Providers: You can set a default provider for each category (e.g., one default Email provider and one default SMS provider).
  3. Test Before Use: Always use the Test Integration button to ensure your configuration is correct before enabling a provider.
  4. Health Monitoring: Identix periodically tests active integrations and alerts you in the dashboard if a provider becomes unavailable.
