How it works

Using a Gigs Embed needs 2 parts:

  • Your server which authenticates the current user and creates a Connect Session. Can be an API endpoint or passed otherwise from your server to your client. Our developer documentation has a guide on Creating Connect Sessions.
  • Your client which uses the Connect Session to initialize the Embed, which makes requests directly to the Gigs API in the scope of your user. The client-side use is explained below.

When using Connect Sessions with Gigs Embeds, you do not redirect to the session's url. Instead you initialize the embed with the full session object.

Additionally, you can subscribe to Webhooks to get a verified outcome of a user's interaction, like when they completed a number porting. The Embeds are also returning the outcome of a user's interaction, but you should use Webhooks for mission-critical processes like updating a record in your database based on the outcome.
