Monitoring Data Collection

Optional implementation

Monitoring Data Collection is optional. If you adopt it, only the prepareSelfieCamera call is affected — every other step in the capture flow (initialization, callbacks, result handling) remains unchanged.

Attach user and flow metadata to a capture session so it can be correlated in monitoring and observability tools on Unico's side. When provided, the data is forwarded alongside the capture — it does not change the SDK's capture behavior or the API response.

setSilentInfo parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
externalUserId	String	✅	User identifier in your system. Automatically hashed with SHA-256 before transmission — never sent in plain text.
useCase	String	—	Identifier for the flow or context running (e.g., "account_opening", "password_recovery"). Transmitted as plain text.

Implementation

Call setSilentInfo on the built camera instance before calling prepareSelfieCamera. Everything else in the capture flow stays the same.

import { UnicoCheckBuilder, UnicoConfig, SelfieCameraTypes, SDKEnvironmentTypes } from "@acesso-io/unico-webframe";

const config = new UnicoConfig()
  .setHostname("<YOUR_HOSTNAME>")
  .setHostKey("<YOUR_HOST_KEY>");

const unicoCamera = new UnicoCheckBuilder()
  .setEnvironment(SDKEnvironmentTypes.UAT)
  .build();

unicoCamera.setSilentInfo("external_user_id", "flow_id");

await unicoCamera.prepareSelfieCamera(config, SelfieCameraTypes.SMART);
