Flow: OTP
The One-Time Password (OTP) node is used to generate a one-time password in the format specified in the OTP API request. It has two modes:
- [Generate OTP](#section-generate)
- [Validate OTP](#section-validate)
Figure 1: Node
You can configure OTP format (numeric, alpha-numeric, and alphabetic), OTP validity time and resend options.
This node must be used in conjunction with Send and Receive nodes. When the OTP is generated it must be sent to the customer using the Send node. When the customer responds, OTP is received using the Receive node. After receiving the OTP, it must be validated using the OTP validate mode.
SETTINGS
The OTP node operates in two modes. You can configure the node either to generate an OTP or validate an OTP.
Double-click the OTP node. The setting option prompts you to configure the OTP mode. ChooseGenerate mode / Validate mode as per the flow requirement.
