🤖 Introducing the Movem Partner API.

We’ve been listening to your feedback about the way you create a reference, and are pleased to introduce a simple API that makes this easier for you all.

This makes the user experience a lot nicer for tenants, as they will no longer have to create an account on Movem.

There are no changes to the JSON reference object we return to you at the end of the process, these changes only affect starting a reference.

We’ve documented the new Application API, and provided ready to go Postman templates here: http://docs.movem.co.uk

What’s changing?

Currently partners direct all tenants to a partner specific URL to start their reference, such as companyname.movem.co.uk.

We’re introducing a new method of the reference creation process, which which streamlines this process and removes the need for the user to create an account with us.

How does it work?

• As a partner, you send Movem the Name & Email of a tenant, which will be exchanged for Application with a unique URL.
• The tenant can then complete the reference in the same way as now using the unique URL.
• When the tenant completes the reference, we send you the JSON reference object to your endpoint in exactly the same way as happens now.
• The API also allows you to request the status of a Application (whether the tenant has started filling it out or completed), list all references, update and delete an invite.
• We will deduct one credit from your account at the point of creating a new Application. You can delete an application which has not already started and receive a full refund.

When are the changes happening?

You can begin building and testing using the new API today on our new QA environment. This feature will be launched to production on Monday 8th October.

After this date all references will need to be started using the new method.

Our team are on hand to help you make this transition as quickly and painlessly as possible — ultimately we believe it will not only improve the end user experience but your experience as a partner.
